Top 10 Tuesday: Paint Sticks Aren’t Just for Paint

If you are  DIYer and are anything like me than you are always searching for deals on supplies and what is better than FREE?! I know I’m always searching for things around the house to make things out of, plus it helps me think outside of the box. Today, I’m sharing an assortment of projects that all use one thing every DIYer has, paint sticks!

So for this week on Top 10 Tuesday I’m sharing 10 Ways To Use Paint Sticks!

2. DIY Paint Stick Lamp Shade via Enjoying the Simple Things

3. Paint Stick Crate via Today’s Fabulous Finds

4. Paint Stick Door Via

5. Magnet Board from Paint Sticks via Sugar Baby Boutique

6. Beachy Picture Frame from Paint Sticks via Craftberry Bush

7. Paint Stick American Flag via Dreaming N Color

8. Mini Pallet Art from Paint Sticks via Turning a House Into A Home

9. Paint Stick Snowmen by Crafts by Amanda

10. Ornaments from Paint Sticks via Today’s Fabulous Finds

 

I think I’m going to start collecting some of these during every trip to the home improvement store!
