Buttoned Letter

One of the best things you can do with a bunch of random buttons is use them to decorate your home. Check it out:


This is another incredibly easy project. 

Supplies:
Wooden Letter (I bet you'll be shocked to hear that I got mine from Hobby Lobby ;) )
Paint (I chose to use a pearly white)
Buttons (I chose to go with a white, pink, and brown color scheme)
Hot glue gun



1. Paint your letter and let it dry. Keep in mind that it may need a second coat.
2. While your paint is drying, gather some buttons that will go well together. Don't worry about making sure that they all match perfectly well. Having a sort of "statement piece" button is part of the creativity!
3. Glue your buttons onto your letter. Try to arrange them in a way that covers most of letter but doesn't crowd it. It's a good idea to play with different arrangements before you actually start gluing things down.
4. Find a place for it and display it. You can hang it up on a wall or cabinet or buy a simple plate display stand to display it on a shelf or mantel.
