Decorate With Paint Chips

If you’ve recently painted your home, or even one room in your home, chances are that you have a stack of paint chips tucked away in a drawer somewhere. Don’t throw them away! There are plenty of ways you can turn those paint chips into decorative items for your home. And the best part? Paint chips are free!

Here are a few ideas that I’ve gathered from some creative and crafty bloggers.
