How do you get that many paint chips?? I couldn’t walk in a store and take that many chips! I would feel sooooo guilty. Is there a way to buy them? I would LOVE to do the heart wall art!
Buy Card Stock paper and a heart Punch at a craft store.
Dora, that was my thought exactly. Then I can just set the die cutter of choice for that day and let it do the work.
Yes, these projects are cute and creative but if people walk into a store and grab handfulls of paint chips you know that will increase the store’s cost and that will increase the cost of paint for everyone – crafters AND non-crafters alike! Disappointing, DIY! Anna has is right – and if people start taking a dozen swatches of every single color soon these paint chips will not be free! THEN what will you advise, DIY?
Possibly get on good terms with the people in the paint department and find out when they are going to be retiring colors and see if they will set the outdated swatches aside for you. I agree, I would be unable to walk in and grab them by the handful! The ideas are so yummy tho!
this is a direct invitation to steal!!! shame on you !! who is the thoughtless person that though up this idea???
***Note from the Editor***
You are all so thoughtful! I love that you are concerned for the paint chips, and I agree that cardstock from recycled greeting cards is a wonderful alternative to paint chips.
However, I have a feeling that paint chips are supplied through the vendor for the very reason of allowing people to get creative and enjoy! Take what you need, and leave the rest for others.
I can assure you that only a small amount of people will be flocking to the store and taking paint chips for their own personal diy craft projects, and those that do are probably already loyal customers, being that they like to do stuff themselves.
Therefore the craft or hardware store is probably happy to supply their most loyal audience with the needed supplies! …Especially if they were to get a great big shoutout on the internet. (Thanks SherwinWilliams.com! Thanks Behr.com!) 😉
Of course, if the store requests that you do not take so many paint chips at one time, please respect their demands and seek other methods to gathering your supplies.
Happy Crafting!
