Since I was going to be super busy, I knew what I was going to take on had to be relatively quick and easy with very few materials on hand, so I hopped right on over to my paint chips board on Pinterest. (Yes I have a board especially dedicated to paint chips. It's a sickness people.) I decided to make cute little paint chip boxes based off of Jessica's tutorial on How About Orange. (Another Sherry find.)
So I gathered up all my supplies and set to work.
A couple notes about my supplies: I couldn't find our double sided tape so I just made loops of scotch tape and that worked just find. Also, for a cutting mat I used an old magazine and that worked just fine, as long as you aren't expecting to be able to read it after you use it. Since I don't have an exacto knife, I just used a box cutter.
One useful tip I discovered was that it's easier to cut straight lines if you use your ruler as a guide, like so.
The first cap I made didn't fit for some reason so I just made another one (this time in pink!) but the rest all turned out awesomely. I'm super happy with them and think I'm going to use them as a box for some Hershey's Bliss to give to Courtney for her birthday on Tuesday.
