DIY Paint Chip Easter Egg Garland!

On 30, Mar 2011 | 20 Comments | In Crafty Crafts, Holiday, Tutorials | By Heather

People have the BEST ideas! I can’t remember where I found the original link, but it brought me to Modern Parents Messy Kids. Adorable blog, great content!

When I saw this Easter egg garland I knew I HAD to make it. It cost me no more than $4 (just had to buy the wax coated string and tiny hole punch), and an hour later I had a great Easter decoration!

I’ve always thought that paint chips were so lovely, but never had a clever idea about what to do with them. Check out the tutorial here.

p.s. if you consider yourself a non-crafty person but would like to be, THIS is the craft for you…I promise!

*Please don’t mind that large empty space above the mantle…waiting for the perfect piece of art to adorn that wall.

    Ha. I totally did this last night too! The second I saw it I dropped what I was doing and ran to home depot. I also just used denatal floss and a needle to string it. Worked perfect and was totally free :) Gives the perfect punch! Love it! Looks so good on your mantel :)

    I didn't notice that cute "M" on the mantel — that must be the one you MADE! It turned out awesome.
