Christmas Button Art

Epiphany has arrived, and I wanted to share one more Christmas post before I packed up all the seasonal decor.

Each year, my eldest sister hosts Christmas dinner at her house. This year, she surprised us with a Christmas craft. First, we chose our frames and fitted them with our selected craft paper (I chose sparkly silver). Then, we sorted through a bowl of buttons and arranged and rearranged them within the frame. Finally, we carefully used a hot glue gun to secure them in place. I think I may use a silver sharpie to add the year to the base of the frame. We enjoyed creating our unique button Christmas trees and chatting around the craft table. Maybe each year, we’ll take turns planning a holiday craft.ChristmasButtonArt

Have you started any new holidays traditions?

XOXO,

Happy Early Valentine’s Day Everyone!

Hubster & I always make homemade Valentine’s for one another. In lieu of a Valentine’s Day card for Hubster this year, I made a perpetual Valentine for our home. Now I just need to get him to hand it up…

Valentine's Button Art Heart

Valentine's Button Art Heart

I started by painting a base coat on a blank canvas and blended a few shades together. Then I used a darker paint and stenciled it over the base color. Last, I glue button on the canvas in a heart shape and I wrote him a special note on the back of the frame. The brown and blue match our bedroom decor well (colors are a bit off in the picture).

I’m also working on another button art panel for our living room (not a heart though)…

When is the last time you made or received a homemade Valentine?
