Paint chips come in handy when you are trying to decide what color to paint that home office, or which color looks best on your front door, but what do you do with that stack you’re hoarding after you’ve decided? There are some creative ways to use those paint chips–read on to see some ideas of just what you can do with them.

Paint Chip Earrings

Use a circle punch in varying sizes to cut circles out of those paint chips, and then turn them into a cute pair of earrings. The best part is, they’re so light they won’t weigh down your ear lobes and look ridiculous.
