Decorating with paint swatches…huh?

By Debbiedoo's Team Published: Mar 11, 2012 · Modified: Jan 29, 2013

This is just how strange my mind works.
Have you ever heard or seen anyone decorate with paint swatches?
Actually, I have!
In fact, I googled it before I titled my post, and after I did the project already.
Some cute projects came up.  Mine is a different though, so I will call it a Debbiedoo’s original.
Decorating with paint swatches
The other day while shopping for plants at Home depot, which btw I did not buy any because I thought, I will kill these poor things before April, I best wait.
I happened to be walking by the paint section and I saw these cute paint chips, that were really funky and fun looking.

 

I started grabbing them, and of course the paint lady asked, is there anything I can help you with?  I replied politely NO, just grabbing some samples for now, and Off I went.  Now what  was I going to do with these? had no clue.
I came home put them on the counter and then it popped into my head.  These can make a really cute butterfly, or a flower depending on how you look at it.

 

So out came the glue gun, and a little embellished flower, and WHAAAA LAAA!
A one of a kind butterfly/flower…however you see it.
I love my new Roo pillow I scored a few weeks ago at Marshalls.
It had to come home with me.  Ironically enough, all the paint chips matched the pillow.  How weird is that?  I did not even have that in mind. I guess I know what colors I like.
Adding fun color and whimsy!

I used my galvanized tin for my faux lemon branches.  Tied some rope around it, just because.

Now tell me that does not look cute?
Even Mr. Doo’s liked it.
So go ahead and pick up some paint swatches..You never do know what you can create with them!
These just look so happy!
