Moving up in the world?

 Inexpensive Moving Gift

Last year I was low on funds but I had alot of time when I got out of my first semester at OCC. So I looked all over blogs for what to do and I found one idea that I fell in love with and ended up giving it to one of my closest friends for christmas to spruce up her Dorm at IU.

Of course I made a few minor changes first.

1. Go to any hardware store and pick out 50-100 paint chips any size but you probably want them all to be the same size so it looks uniform and takes less time to cut up.
2. Next PAY FOR some wood glue, do not use super glue you can see it through the paint chips after words and it looks tacky. Now you don't look like the ass-hole that came in to steal some paint chips with out buying anything.
3. Then go to K-mart or any cheap store, walmart works to of your ok with that whole miss treating you workers thing. Buy a big frame, it shouldnt cost more than 10 dollars, and get a tinny squeeze bottle of paint.
4. I forgot to mention that you really should cordinate your colors so you like the combination when you put this all together.
5. Go home and cut up those paint chips, it will take a while to so, buy a redbox movie and chill or drag your boo along to help you or in my case sence i'm lacking a boo manipulate yoursister into helping.
6. Now their are 2 options for this either you can paint words on these chips as I did with the awesome Dr.Seuss Quote, or you can use white paint chips to write a name or slogan that is of course personally fitting to your realtionship. Tip: use dense colors next to the white chips to make them stick out. (I just thought of that second option while I was writing this so let me know how it works if you try it and I will add it to my list of things to try.)
7. Back to what I was saying put on some paramore, redbox, christmas music which ever you like and start glueing you cut up paint chips to the backing of the frame, so its permenent, if your friend hates it they will just have to deal because it wont just slip out of the frame to be replaced by a poster of chuck bass.
8. This gluing will also take a while and remember with glue less is more!!

Once you have finished and cordinated your white chips into words or painted your awesome quote onto it set it up high somewhere where the dogs, parents roomates, birds do not step on it for a day then wrap it up and hand it over for christmas.
 You can aslo do this with a few small frames that all go up together to spance things out a bit their are alot of options so good luck and please give me feed back on your virsions, I plan to use this ideas for chirstmases and birthdays to come.
