paint the town pink!

in my last post, i mentioned some hearts that i had made out of paint chip cards -

but i didn't have a great photo of them to include in the post. i just found those paper hearts in a bin!

i snapped a few quick photos just so i can share them...

so let's consider this my 'Paint the Town Pink!' post Part Two!

continue reading for the details + more ideas...

these are so easily made - the paint chip cards were cut into long strips,

then bent into a heart shape and secured with a dot of hot glue.
[to make this a craft for kids, i'd suggest pre-cutting the strips,
then giving them a glue stick or tacky glue to secure the ends in a heart shape.] 

i cut both thick and thin strips for interest, but made them all the same size -

you could easily glue strips together lengthwise before bending into a heart shape for larger sizes.

i simply piled them into swanky martini glasses for the centerpiece at our party - 

but you could hang them on thin ribbon or thread in a window, from a chandelier, 

or from bare tree branches in a sturdy vase.

as you see in that photo,

i also used the paint chip cards (extras from a client project) in a few other ways...

i love using inexpensive materials like paper for decorating projects...

heart gift tags cut from a vintage box here

that being said, i DO have some thoughts about how you GET paint chip cards for crafting.
