Isn’t it lovely? It was SOO easy!! You know me, it might look easy but if it has more than 5 instructions I am probably not going to try it. Mostly because I hate cleaning up after a “good” craft project. I clean up after a two-year old all day, I don’t want to clean up after myself too.
I made this as a gift for my soon to be Sister-In-Law’s engagement party. It took about 45 minutes and it cost just about $10.00. I got the frame from Ross and the pack of buttons from JoAnn’s. I have seen this made with costume jewelry before which looks pretty cool but I don’t have any, so I went with buttons.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
5×7 Picture Frame
1 Pc of Scrapbooking Paper (I used Card Stock to add texture)
Buttons (size and qty matter based on size of letter, use your best judgement)
Hot Glue Gun
2 Hot Glue Sticks
Scissors
Glue Stick
Tweezers
DIRECTIONS:
Draw or print out a letter in the size and style you desire.
Cut out the letter and paste onto your scrapbook paper.
Measure the Scrapbook paper to fit your picture frame and cut it out. Make sure letter is centered.
Randomly glue buttons to your letter. *I glued a few on to start and then I arranged a few before gluing them down to keep the colors somewhat even.
(It is okay and encouraged to layer your buttons. Make sure you cover all visible lines from the letter pasted below.)
Remove glass and place finished project into the picture frame.
Using your tweezers, remove any visible strings or globs of hot glue.
The End.
Sounds super easy right? It is! Try it! I think they make very unique and personal gifts for any occasion. You could just make one for your own home. Can someone make one for me? He-He.

So easy and cute!
