The Story of a Traveling Giant Paint Chip + Instructions!

We are so excited that our Giant Paint Chip Valentine is being displayed in front of our local Home Depot for the thousands of DIY customers to enjoy! If you aren’t in the Encinitas area from Feb 11- Feb 14th don’t fret because you can make your very own giant paint chip by following our step by step instructions found here on Instructables.com. Check out what it took to get this 8 foot paint chip to The Home Depot!

If only transporting this big foam paint chip to the store was as easy as creating it…..

These are the days we wish we had a box truck!

After some over engineering we managed to get the paint chip secured to the frame and then secured in the back of the truck. And then we prayed to the weather gods for no rain and no wind on our 3 mile trek.

Phew, we made it but not without a few odd looks from passersby!

After a nerve racking 15 minutes we finally got our paint chip into place right at The Home Depot entrance!

Then, before we could clear all of our junk out of the way, our first little paint chip enthusiast jumped right in for a picture! Isn’t he adorable?

He really really liked the paint chip!

and finally a fun family pic in front of our red and pink paint chip of love!

It’s great to see that we’re not the only ones delighted by the Giant Paint Chip Valentine! A BIG thank you goes out to our friends, family, Behr Paint and The Home Depot for seeing and supporting our crazy creative antics. We have plenty more up our sleeves so stay tuned and in the meantime check out the giant paint chip valentine instructions on Instructables here.

Craft On.
