You liked them that is why you chose them in the first place so why not use them to provide a little color therapy to enjoy every day.

1. Take frame apart.

2. I used the old art as a guide to where to place my paint chips. I picked my favorite color chips. I started in the center and used a glue stick to attach them on top of the original art.

3. I placed my 3 favorite colors on top of the first four rows of chips I placed. Make sure you glue down all the edges.
