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!
