Paint Sample Match Books

 I have been wanting to do something with paint samples for some time now, other than using as book marks!

 I found this wonderful tutorial for making match books over at  http://whimsy-girl.blogspot.com/2008/10/paint-sample-notebook-tutorial.html

Now I can't stop making them!  I have some glittered dog stickers so I added them as embellishments.  These are such fun to make and maybe something to consider doing with the children over the next school holiday.

    What a great idea - but I wonder if the paint companies will catch on and start charging?

    What a brilliant idea, thank you for sharing Simone.
    I agree paint samples do look like they should be used for something else other than just choosing paint!!
