For all three projects, start by taping paint chips together to create a gradated colour background.

1. Ombre-inspired wall art: Simply placed the paint chips side-by-side and frame as is.

2. Two-toned heart project: Layer yellow over red and cut a large heart out of the yellow so that the red shows through. Make sure you carefully line up the place where the colour changes.

3. Love project: Print the words I love you on a piece of white paper, cut out the letters and put a paint chip behind it.
