I'm still trying to put together my bedroom. Right now we have blank walls with pictures leaning up agains them. I saw a Pinterest project where they made a Christmas tree out of buttons. It looked so quaint and fun. I've been rolling the idea of button art around my head and this is what I came up with:
1. Find a font that you love and print it off. Tape it to a window with lots of light behind it.
2. Find the material you want to use for your canvas. I used canvas! Tape the material on top of the paper with your font, making sure to center it where you want it. Also, make sure the ink you use won't show up when you're done gluing buttons, or make sure the buttons cover all the ink.
3. I laid out the buttons before I started gluing. This taught me two things. 1) I didn't love the modge podge of random buttons I pulled out of my bag, I definitely needed a color palette. 2)the middle of the "L" needed to be open, not filled in. Thank goodness I didn't glue them down the first time!
4. The final product.
This little button art is going to paired with another Pinterest project that I'm almost finished with. It is pallet art with my favorite love song from Mulon Rouge: All You Need is Love. Anyhoo ... check back soon to see that finished project!
