Book Marks

• Make several book markers -- to include with a gift book -- or give them to all the avid readers in your family. Use the narrow, multicolored strips and round out the edges with a scissors. Punch a hole at the top center to loop through a tassel, raffia strips or satin ribbon in coordinating colors.
  
  

Wall Hanging

• Use larger paint chips for this project. Pick the colors to coordinate the room where your artwork will hang. Use a large piece of matte board or cardboard for your surface. Either use the chips in their original size or cut them into triangles. Lay the chips out in a random, mosaic design or draw some flowers, fruit or a landscape and fill it in with your chips. Leave some space in between each chip or overlap them. Glue each chip with care to avoid bubbling. After the glue is completely dry, spray your artwork with acrylic fixative to protect it.
  
  

Identification Cards

• The larger paint chip cards make suitable name tags for parties. Fold them in half and write your guest's name, adding designs and other embellishments. Glue individual color chips on storage boxes and write the contents on each label. Use a red or green chip for Christmas ornaments and pastel colors for kids' clothes and toys.
  
  

Notepads

• The narrow color chip strips work as covers for notepads. Cut different colored paper the size of the strip or use pre-lined paper for notes. Place the paper in between two color chip strips and staple the top to hold it in place. Cover the stapes with adhesive tape.
  
  

Flash Cards

• Kids can learn new things with your home-made flash cards. Write letters, numbers and words with marking pens on different colored paint chip cards. Punch a hole at the top of each card and pull a ribbon through it as a hanger for future teaching sessions. Adhesive letters and numbers can be substituted for writing.
