In line at Joanne's Fabrics one day, I saw this little jar of buttons (it was so cute I bought it but had no project in mind) Then, I came across an adorable idea in a Pottery Barn Kids Mag, but it was really expensive and I never pay for anything I can replicate!
I can't find the picture from Pottery Barn Kids online,
but here's my little creation below.

| Ignore the mess! I already had the frame from a really tacky framed poem at Walmart, from a long time ago, and found the frame in the attic. (One good thing about saving junk.) It was brown, so I used a little metallic craft paint to make it a shabby silver tone. |

Isn't that button jar cute??? It's like candy!
I used the back cardboard of the frame and hot glued some leftover batting to it, then covered it with some muslin fabric I had as well.
I then used a template for the letter I wanted, and
sketched it in pencil onto the fabric. Finally, I hot glued the buttons in random colors and overlapping for interest.
After the buttons were on, I popped it back into the frame, I think it's cute for $7.00!
This would be fun to do with a burlap backing and capiz buttons using our last initial! ...maybe a good little project for summer decor!
