i was walking around sears hardware yesterday, and they had all these pretty paint chips... and i couldn't resist stealing a few... well, about 2 of each color.

so paint chips+paper clips=

That's a really cute idea.  I'm trying to think of a window in my house that needs a new funky curtain.  It would even make cool wall art.

Did you have to cut them out?

Thats really cute!  How did you attach them?  And how are they hanging at the top?

oooh pretty! very original! i'd like to know if you had to cut them as well. this reminds me of this crazy girl who posted once on the sampler site that anyone who takes paint chips without planning on using them as they were intended is a thief. LMAO! someone had made beautiful notepads from paint swatches as their contribution, and she went as far as to try and have the girl's work pulled from the sampler because she "stole" the swatches. people that defend home depot have waaaaay too much time on their hands....

i didn't have to cut them out, they came like that, one color a chip 
i just went to steal some more today, to finish it off. i hope i dont get arrested anytime soon, i wasn't aware it could be considered a crime  i just poked a hole in the top and bottom of each chip with a thumbtack and hung them together with paper clips strung through the holes... i had a certain method to it, but it'd be hard to explain and i think it'd be easy enough to figure it out.

I should do that! Me and my mom went to the home depot and took like 2000 Behr pain chips for her art class. Maybe she has some left over. It's very... funk-licious I love it!

That is awsome! I am always wanting to change our paint colors, so I have tons of those all over the house. Great idea and thanks for sharing
