From Pinterest to Real Life: Paint Chip Garland

I’ve had some paint chip samples sitting around for several months now, after seeing so many fun projects on Pinterest. I finally decided on making this cute paint chip garland from ohdeedoh:

I whipped this up while watching Friday Night Lights (love that show!) I think it turned out cute, and it was so easy.

I also did a couple more mini-projects this month, like making this air freshener and making my own toothpaste (the air freshener is on the left, toothpaste on the right.)

Both were so easy, and only took a few minutes to make. To make the air freshener, add some baking soda to a mason jar, along with 6-8 drops of your favorite essential oil. I used lavender for one, and Citrus Bliss for another. Using a hammer and nail, poke holes in the top of the lid. And that’s it! (Recipe from The Complete Guide to Imperfect Homemaking).

To make the toothpaste, combine 5 T. baking soda, 4 T. coconut oil, and 10 drops essential oil (I used peppermint.) You can also add stevia to sweeten it, but I didn’t. (Recipe from Wee Waldorf).
