DIY : PARTY BUNTING WITH PAINTCHIPS



Hey All,

There are times when I make things just because I feel like it. Today's is one such occasion. I really didn't need a banner though I could use some color on blank walls around the home. But honestly there wasn't any need of a banner or bunting at this point. But I had all these paint chips ( small papers with paint colors made by paint manufacturers) that I have been hoarding and I thought well let me make one and share. How nice of me right!!




Well those stories apart, these are the easiest and probably cheapest party perfect banner/bunting you would have seen. Mostly because they are made of paint chips that are free at home improvement stores and only other things you would need are scissors and glue - for the simplest of them. Here I am showing one version and you can find hundred other ways to customise it like, painting, marbling, stencilling, glittering - anything really.



supplies :

Paint chips in colors of choice
Glue
Scissors
Ribbon/twain
Washi tape for decoration




The steps are fairly simple. The paint chips I chose were rectangular in shape . They are basically thick craft paper either glossy or matte finish . I wanted to make triangle bunting. I folded each one in half and cut out triangle shape by cutting the sides at an angle. Then I put the twain in the middle of it and glued both sides together. Repeat for as many as you need. Once I had the banner I decorated it with washi tape that I had in hand .






This can be done with regular craft paper, only they won't be really free.





That's it. Easy and cheap banner for the next summer get-together.





If you haven't tried decorating with these paint chips yet, I think you must. The possibilities are endless. I have a large scale wall art in mind next . Are you gonna try too? Do let me know your thoughts.

    What an easy idea!?! Love the idea of using wash tape... makes it even easier! Thank you so much for sharing... I'm actually working on a "Rock-a-bye Baby" shower and I loved the You Rock! banner. I'm going to see if I can incorporate this into my decor plan for the party. Can't wait to see your large scale idea as well.
