Upcy: DIY Cute as a Button

This is a super cute Idea to dress up any room (I think it is an especially cute Idea in a nursery - you could do the babies full name or Initial(s)!!) and if you do your shopping right can be achieved for less than $5.00 (with LOTS of left over materials for later projects) OR if you are a craft supply hoarder like me, you can do it with stuff you have laying around. Below you will find the products you need as well as some tips as to where to find them for the best price!!

By the way the 'H' is for Humble and is one I did for Cody ( you may be wondering why I chose purple Buttons - that is the current Pop of colour in our Living Room). The heart is another take on the idea that I created for my office/creative space using rhinestones & various other shiny beads/items that I had

What You Will Need:

Frame/Shadow Box: (Cody & I got a bunch of these super simple nude metallic frames from the dollar store over a year ago for a collage wall 7 than later decided that they were a bit small for what we were trying to do and have since been re-purposing them all over our home - so be prepared to see a lot of these in future DIYs haha) another great spot is Thrift Stores (you can even buy the discounted ones without the glass, as I ended up having to ditch it on mine anyways as the buttons wouldn't fit with the backing).

Buttons: Like I said before... if you are not a hoarder like me, you can get these from Thrift Stores as well in huge bulk bags for like $2.00, at pretty much any Dollar store, OR Michaels on Sale (especially if you get their coupons).

White Pencil Crayon/Black Paper Marker & Sciccors

Hot Glue Gun/Glue Sticks: Winners or Michaels, will have the guns & the glue will usually come with it & refills can be found there OR the Dollar Store.

Card Stock Paper/Construction Paper/Felt /whatever type of backing you prefer to work with

This is pretty self explanatory - Just Draw out your Letter/Shape

& cover with Buttons until the line is completely covered.

None the less, it is Soo soo cute, super crafty

& would make an adorable DIY gift!
