Paint stir sticks are one of those things you never really think much about. You pick up a few when buying some paint, and then that’s pretty much it. But you really should be thinking more about them, because they’re an amazingly versatile (and free) DIY resource! I never use all the stir sticks that I have.

You can get stir sticks for free at Home Depot, Lowe’s, and other such stores which makes these projects very thrifty. Or you can buy them in bulk online through stores such as Amazon.com. Please visit the linked sources for complete tutorials.
