III. Paint Chip Results

As soon as I was given the challenge of creating something using paint chips, I instantly knew that this was my chance to finally create the coasters I've been wanting to create for my wine room! With that in mind I had a color pallet in mind, but when it came down to standing in Lowes looking at the paint chips everything looked so fun!!!

Between trying to avoid attention from the paint sales specialist I filed my pockets with many paint chips, and booked it to the counter to buy my 4 bathroom tiles. My whole drive home the wheels were turning on what patterns to make, and what style to create!!!

After scattering the paint chips all a crossed my bed, and looking at the titles, I can to the idea to create the coasters using a few of the paint chip color titles that are associated with wine!!! One incorporates "Crushed Grapes" and "Curtain Call". This coaster now reminds me of when my first batch of homemade wine that was used in the short film that I helped make this summer. Another one has "A Day a the Jewelers" and "Tea Lights" which brings me back to the day of your wedding :) now if I only had one that said "Trinity Red" for that title too!

To make these, I laid out the paint chips, mod podged them to the title, sprayed a sealer to the top and applied felt to the bottom to make them slide easily and not scratch the table surface! Here are the final results! The best thing about this project as it costed me a total of $8, which included the Mod Podge and sealing spray. If you already have that on hand, it a mere $2 to make your own 4 piece coaster set that matches any design you want!

OVERALL A GREAT AND FUN ADDITION TO MY WINE ROOM!!!
