Over here the Junk in the Trunk Trio, along with our husbands and families, have been very VERY busy preparing for the quickly approaching Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market.

So today I have a quick and easy project for you, one that I have been working on for the market.  If you are looking a great way to decorate on a budget, I have a fun garland for you to make.  Supplies you need are paint chips from your local hardware store (or I discovered this week you can also find that at Walmart!  They really are the one stop shop), a paper cutter if you have one (or a pair of scissors work, just a little more time consuming), and a sewing machine.  Are you ready?

All you have to do is cut the paint chips into different sized strips, the randomness of the different sizes adds to the garland.

Then you take your strips of paint chips and sew straight through the middle (across the short side) of each chips creating one long string of paint chips.  One long paint chip garland.

And that’s it!  Quick and easy.  I don’t know about you, but I love that kind of project.
