Button letters

Canvas button letters in any size you want!

Material

1 Canvas Frame (any size)
1 Paint colour of your choice
1 Roll of Masking Tape
1 Glue Bottle
1 Jar of Mixed Buttons (I found mine at the local charity shop in jars)

Method

Mask your canvas into a pattern (I chose zig zag).
Paint your chosen colour where the masking tape isn't on the canvas. Then dry. I re-coated mine 3 times.
Once dry take the masking tape off the canvas.
Arrange your mixed buttons into the letter you have chosen.
Glue one button at a time so it stays in the letter shape.

great if you have lots of left over buttons. guess lots of different mediums could be used. perfect activity for isolation times.

My cousins actually have a small at home business making pictures with buttons and putting them in frames. They also make little people key rings in AFL team colours. Stunning results

How cute. This certainly is an eye catcher. I have a good collection of buttons as I always cut them off old clothes we use for rags. Thank you for a great recycling idea.
