Paint Chip Art - Pinterest Challenge

In preparation for a new home project mom and I are about to take on, we headed over to the paint department at Home Depot.  I day dreamed about colors for our future home, while mom looked into a new paint color for their half bath.  The longer Behr chips have a little punch out in the bottom left hand corner so you can make your own ring.  I now have a different ring for our potential master bedroom, one for the master bath, one for the family room and one for our laundry room color choices.

While punching out the little tabs, I thought it would be a waste to just throw them out.  They were a perfect uniform shape and after looking through some of my paint chip pins on Pinterest (Thanks for the inspiration Two Girls Being Crafty and  Blue Velvet Chair!) I thought it would be a great project for Katie's (Bower Power) and Sherry's (YHL) Pinterest challenge!  I quickly swiped all of moms warmer tones from downstairs to contrast the cooler tones that Chris and I are feeling for our colors.  After playing around for a bit, I decided on a pattern and grouped them together.

A frame on sale at Micheal's, a little glue and this is what I came up with!

We have several black frame/white mat combos currently in storage and plan to make a gallery wall in our house.  I made the design with a vertical hanging in mind, but I don't think the horizontal view is half bad.

And a little close up of the punch outs in action.

Not too shabby for a piece of art that cost a total of $7.50 plus tax (the frame was 50% off, plus a bonus coupon of 25% off).  We now have a beautiful piece for our gallery wall and have a clear view on the colors we want to paint the main rooms.

Do you have a gallery wall in your house?  If so, is it a mix of art and pictures?
