Make The Best Of What's Around

pAiNt SwAtCh ArT

This is day 2 of my decorating for

Valentines Day

for under $10

This project was so easy and took me about 10 minutes from start to finish. It only cost me $1. Here are the supplies I used. Some mat paper(had on hand) a paint swatch in shades of pink(FREE) a white frame($1) and some brads(had on hand, but could be found at a scrapbook or office store).

First, I picked out a turquoise color to make my heart. I love this color! It matches a little sign on the same shelf I chose to display this paint swatch artwork. It's also a good color to represent the three LOVES of my life...my husband and two boys!

I used these FISKARS scissors to cut out the heart. How appropriate is the name on the scissors!? HEARTBEATI was just going to glue it on, but it needed a little something extra!

I found these little brads on the bottom of my craft box. I used these when making my Sister Darcy's wedding invites a few years back. They worked perfect.

Attached it to the paint swatch. I chose to remove the glass from the frame as well. I wanted the heart to be able to pop out from the paint swatch a bit.

I think it turned out pretty cute for just $1. I might just have to do this for some other holidays as well.
More to come tomorrow.
