This is my last piece of art that I have for this series. I wanted to stay on the sewing theme, and what better way to do that than with buttons!
I know this is not rocket science, but here goes:
Materials:
10x10 Shadow Box
Scrap fabric (12'”x12”)
Various buttons
Glue Gun
Printed initial
Take the back off of your shadowbox
Place the back board onto the fabric, wrong sides together
Run a bead of hot glue along the bottom
Press your fabric onto the hot glue. To make the corner, just fold into a triangle
And glue down the next side
Lightly trace your initial onto the fabric front
Begin randomly placing your buttons. I placed the larger ones first, and then started building from there
Place buttons on top of each other to get dimension
Fill in to your heart’s content!
Here are the tutes for the spool and zipper art in case you missed 'em

FUN! I've been wondering what you would use for the next one. :)
I love the final look - the three really play off one another well! Good job, you!
This is my favorite yet! I love the impact of the three grouped together.
I have to say, I've just found your blog, and what a great way to catch my eye! These are absolutely fabulous! I can't wait to get my craft room out of my living room and I will totally use this to decorate the room! Awesome job!
What fun art!! I love the colors too.
I love all three of these, they're so unique and awesome.
Love it! :) Nice work!
Great job! I love how they all look together!
Wow, I love these! This is a perfect idea for my craft/sewing room. I'm going to have to file it in my "to do" :) Thanks for sharing & for the blog visit.
I love this idea! I would never have thought to use buttons to create a monogram. I love all three specimens grouped together too!
Okay, so you were ahead of me on the other projects framed this way. I say Bravo to you!!!!!!!!!!!!
So colorful and fun! I'd love for you to submit this over at the M&T Spotlight: http://www.makeandtakes.com/spotlight
This is so cute. I think I may have to copy it for my living room.
This is great! I was contemplating making some fun decor for my kitchen with the excess buttons I have laying around, never thought of a monogram...may have to give this one a shot! Thanks so much for sharing!
