Button Heart

A crafty sunday spent sticking buttons in the shape of a heart. This is a really easy way to make a cool bit of wall art or even to decorate a card. 

You will need a deep or memory frame, the one I used was from Hobby Craft. You will also need a backing paper, a colour that matches or contrasts with your button colour and a bag of button. These don't all have to be the same size or colour. 

Heres how to do it:

1. Print a shape or a letter, I chose a heart

1. Lay this over your base paper and use a blunt tool, the ned of a paintbrush will do, to trace over the shape. Now you have an outline to follow.
2. Then you can either use tape to fill the shape or glue each individual button to fill this space. 

Then all you need to do is mount it and ta-dah a really unique and one off piece of art.
