Project Pinterest: Paint Sample Gift

Welcome back to Project Pinterest!

My husband's birthday was on Halloween. Since we have basically been a one income family for ten years now, we rarely exchange gifts (hey, you gotta cut corners somewhere) but always do something homemade-y for each other. This year I got to use an idea from Pinterest! Have I mentioned my affinity for that site?

Paint sample and I have always been best friends, as long as I can remember. Going to a hardware store and looking and actually getting to keep the paint samples was like Christmas morning to me.

I grabbed some cool toned paint samples from my stash. Then I used Word to create a title and type all of my pages.

I glued two paint samples back to back and then glued the text on each side.

Then I hole punched the tops, attached them with a ring binder thingy and my project was complete!

Pin It

Here are the guidelines for Project Pinterest:

1. Decide which pin on Pinterest you’d like to recreate.

2. Create it!

3. Flop or success, create a blog post about your re-do and include the original pin’s url.

4. Add the Project Pinterest button to your post so others can join in too!

5. Link up and check out other bloggers’ posts!
