Several months ago, I bought a unique wall accessory at a home decor store. It is metal/wire with alligator clips so it can be changed out with whatever the imagination can dream up. At first, I used it to create a collage of local vintage postcards and then at Christmas, it was used for displaying cards. Then, after the holidays, it sat empty for a couple of weeks. Finally, today, I decided I had to find a temporary "fill" while I considered the next installation phase. I couldn't stand the empty frame any longer!
Luckily, inspiration struck while I was organizing my office - I found an out-of-date paint fan deck and I decided to use the paint cards as the art. I went through the deck, pulled out
colors that were repeated in the adjacent rooms, clipped them in place and voila, done . . . at least for now! Cheap, Easy & Recycled.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWwBH2fF5NVLPlqJPy-iyiNzaJOOWqIEbuoTdyzmHTo8VVs3UxU-a7kryhsgbYmUciNtyvSETOA5OjQlsIGBBGPeUObNCW_hFe5J6vvdwO_N6k-U9-6MdPdD7SJIs9k4_lYeU5mPTL2_w/s320/PaintChipsonHanger.JPG)
Happily, I am not the only one who liked this idea. Here are some other examples of paint chip artwork:
