DIY Paint Chip Wall Art

Audrey Hepburn is my IDOL. I love her, and I love these paint chip wall things. I've made a few before and decided to make a tutorial. They're super easy and basically free.

• Paint chips (free anywhere they sell paint)
• Scissors
• Tape
• Marker
• Glue/cardboard (not pictured)/frame (not pictured) for mounting

Many strips have a sample or 2 that are too dark to write on. So,cut them off! It will help you count how many boxes you need for letters without having to remember that certain ones can't be used.

 

Lay out the design of your quote. Don't cut anything first, be sure to correctly count the number of letters you have in your quote and lay them out accordingly.

 

Cut the extra boxes off! There should be a white line in between every colored box, that way the strips will line up evenly. As in the top row, you may have to cut a white line out of an extra strip and insert it in between strips.

 

Flip the strips over and tape them together. Not only do the middle of the strips need to be taped, but also the corners. If you're not putting your art behind glass, this is crucial so that the corners dont curl up! Tape up any remaining holes.

 

Flip over and write your quote! I figured this one would be appropriate considering the demise of Earth tomorrow (; have a good night!
