Directions:

Align your ruler along the edge of the paint sample showing the names of the shades of paint. Draw a line and cut, so you have two pieces of the paint sample. Next, hole punch the top and sides of each color on the sample. Tie the ribbon to the top and curl with the edge of your scissors. It's cheap and a cute git to give in school!
