DIY: Wall Art Using Paint Chips

I decided the apartment needed new wall art that didn't cost me much money. So I headed to Home Depot and picked up a bunch of paint chips. I seriously thought I needed to be stealthy because I was taking around 6 chips of the same color, but now that I think about it... I doubt anyone cares I am taking too many free samples.


And here is my finished piece:

DIY, Wall, Art, Paint, Chips, Wall Art, Paint Chips

Things You Will Need To Do This Yourself: posterboard (for the background/the thing you will paste the chips on), glue (i used tacky glue), scissors, a ruler, a pencil, and lots and lots of paint chips (found at Home Depot, Loews, etc.), a frame

This project cost me zero dollars, since everything I needed was either free or I already had it. So I would definitely want to make another one to go with the one I just made. Here are some other paint chip diy art projects that I would like to try:



Hopefully, I get it done soon. Maybe after I turn in another 2 apps. Also, I finished my attempt on making that MARNI necklace last night. Can't wait to show you all!

  19. I've been wanting to do DIY paint chip art for the longest time now. I just haven't gotten the chance to go to my local hardware store. Thanks for the lovely inspiration! I'll have to keep these in mind when I create my own. :)

  22. Very clever with a great result. One sees a lot of quirky DIY ideas that don't look quite as good as the author thinks they do. This does not have that problem.
