Genius DIY Decorating Tool: Paint Chip Keychain

by on May 5, 2011

If you’re in the process of decorating your space, this may be the single most helpful tool you could own: a paint chip keychain custom-made from your own color palette!  It’s a simple DIY project that will make shopping for furniture, fabric, or accessories that much easier.  

Kristi Linauer shared this brilliant idea on her blog Addicted 2 Decorating, explaining “I just never knew when I’d pop into the fabric store, or find myself looking at rugs or artwork. I mean, if you’re redecorating your home, your paint samples are crucial!”  And you know what?  I couldn’t agree more!  So, intead of trying to always remember to have that stack of paint chip samples on hand, consider this DIY solution: a keychain painted with your room’s colors (or the colors you’re considering).  All you’ll need is the following:

  • Small Wooden Craft Circles
  • Ball Chain
  • A Drill
  • Primer
  • Paint

For the full tutorial, check out the rest of Kristi’s post on Addicted 2 Decorating.
