I have been wanting to make a color wheel for a long time now I would really like to sew one but I just haven't got around to it yet. I did however make one that is very easy and quick, a paper color wheel.
I made my color wheel out of those sample paint cards, you can get them at any hardware store or other place that sells paint.
I started with going to the store and picking out about 20-25 color shades that I wanted to include in my color wheel.
I then laid out the cards in a circle over lapping them like the picture below shows.
Once I had all the cards positions where I wanted them I glued them down.
After the glue dried I used a bowl as my template I cut around the edges to make a circle.
I also glued a small circle of brown card stock to the middle.
I then used a layer of Mod Podge over the entire surface to give it a shiny look.
And you are done.
I like the way it turned out but after looking at it closer now that I am done I think a few of the colors look out of place....oh well.
I hung it up on my bare wall, it looks so sad.
I really need to add something else to this wall.
