This is by far the easiest decoration I have ever made, and we're all about easy right?! So I have seen all the paint chip crafts around Pinterest, so I guess I would say that this is a "Pinspired" craft! All you need is a handful of Behr paint chips from Home Depot, a stapler and a some ribbon or lace. I chose a variety of different shades, but you could use any of them that you like.
