Considering painting the house, with natural paint or otherwise? The task will inevitably leave you with a stack of rejected paint chips. Rework them into these slick card holders. They’d suit the business cards of an eco-aware designer, or use them to store postage stamps or other odds and ends. (If your name happens to be "June Vision" or another colorific moniker, all the better.) The how-to instructions are sized for swatches from Home Depot, but they could be modified to work with whatever your last paint project spawned. ::designverb via Make

Funny this tip should appear today. I was just cleaning out my room earlier and found a bunch of things, including Behr color swatches I grabbed at Home Depot last year. Sounds like this one is worth a try!
