Take the poster board that you have and tape or glue on your colored/scrapbook paper (if wanted). You can also boarder it like I did.

Grab your color/paint samples. I had 7 rectangles so I cut off 2, to make 5. Do that on each sample. Leave the others connected.

Now cut them into a reasonable square. I eyed them and with first one you'll want to use that as a guide. Do not cut them separately.

Grab your color samples and then arrange them to your liking. Make sure they're kind of spread apart (a couple millimeters) but not so much that you have barely any space. Put them on using tape balls

Note: I decided not to decorate mine because I didn't have enough space. If you really want to decorate it, I suggest using a 16 by 20. I used a 14 by 18 (I think) so I didn't have much space.

Note: Customize it to make it yours.
