It was Grandma's birthday so Big Seed made her this lovely gift
of a photo frame decorated in buttons to match her living room.
You need a flat frame, then prime it with white poster paint mixed with glue.
That takes a while to dry, then go crazy with buttons.
I bought a couple of mixed bags from Ebay.
What a co-incidence that Big Seed's aunt should send him some old buttons and necklaces
as a surprise package that morning!
I like the way that some of the buttons overlap the edge...
also to add that extra zing, layer some of them up.
Hope she likes it tomorrow!

what a cool idea. I love how randomly they are placed. Definately a job for little hands as I am way to anal about keeping things even. I found your blog by way of scraps of starlight, congrats on your award by the way. Looking forward to following along!

What a great project! I love the effect the buttons create.
ReplyDeleteI bet your little one had fun arranging them!
Grandma/Mamgu loves her photo frame. Thank you big seed and lots of love.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty - it only occurred to me to save buttons a few months back - I am annoyed I didn't think about it earlier. However - I may have enough for this very cute idea.
