With a few birthdays coming up, I needed a way to give money or gift cards. We had some paint chips left over from last years craft, so I used those to make some handbag gift card holders.
Materials:
- Paint Chips (I used Taubmans)
- Double-sided sticky tape
- embellishment
- ribbon
Firstly, I stuck two paint chips together around three sides to make the handbag. The paint chips I used had a rounded base. If you don’t have Taubmans paint chips, shape the base of the handbag by rounding the corners on the paint chips. Then I attached a smaller paint chip on the back of the handbag and folded it over to the front to make a flap. Then I attached the ribbon to make the handle of the handbag and added an embellishment to the flap to finish.

That is so creative and looks awesome!
Gorgeous as always, ladies!
You are the queen of the paint chip – maybe you need to gather all your paint chip crafts into one section on the sidebar.
What a super cute idea!!! thanks for sharing…

That looks fantastic. I like that idea.
What an inventive person you are. I had to let you know that I tried out your passionfruit slice and it was yummy! And very easy to make too!
YOu are so clever again! I have a load of these cards…I find a use for them now;)
That is ingenious! Can’t wait to make several of these!
What a great idea to sass up a gifted gift card. Love it and thanks for sharing.
OK. Now you have been officially crowned Queen of Lateral Thinking. I’m still catching up with the security envelope thing. (I much prefer looking at the nice graphic patterns than the bill thingies).
How absolutely clever and cute.
Do you know how to make a giraffe bow?
Just wondering because you know how to do everything else really well.

What a fun idea! I was thinking that you could add a strip of paper to cover up the paint name with a greeting of choice like, Happy Birthday, Congrats, Thinking of You, Just because, I LOVE You!, etc.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas with us.
I bought today sidewalk chalk for the grand-daughter of a friend of mine. Do you ever use them?
What a super cute idea! Love it!
Cute way to recycle the paint chips!
Really lovely!
You’re a crafty little reycler aren’t you!
This is just the best idea – I am off to get some paint chips for the graduation gift cards I need to give!
Added to my blog as I absolutely LOVE this idea! Tres chic for a teacher end of the year gift!
