Paint Chip Eggs

I have a bad habit. Every time that I go to Lowe’s, Home Depot or any store with a home improvement department I feel the need to take paint chips. Not just 1 or 2- like, a lot. I’ve accumulated quite the collection. So, it’s great when there’s a fun project to do using my highly coveted collection. This project is easy to do, and doesn’t require a lot of supplies. Plus it's perfect for the upcoming holiday! I present paint chip eggs!

Supplies:
Paint Chips (2 or 3 per egg depending on the paint chip size)

Paper fasteners (2 per egg)

Brad Setter

Template

Pencil

Scissors

(Template)

Directions:

Choose 2 or 3 paint chips for each egg. Trace the template on the back of the chips. You’ll need 4 pieces for each egg. Cut out the pieces.

Use the brad setter to puncture a hole on both sides of each piece.

Set the paper fastener “face up” on the table. Put each of the pieces, colored side down, onto the paper fastener. They’ll need to form a clover-like shape, as shown in the picture below. 

Repeat the previous step with the other side, in order to form the egg. This is a bit tricky, since the first side is already fastened together. It helps to squeeze the ends together, so that you can reach in between the sides.

That’s it! They’re easy to do and not too time consuming. Make a bunch- they look really nice displayed together in a bowl.

Stay fab!
