Red Button Art - Family Sign




I've seen a lot of "button" art floating around on blogs and Pinterest lately. Most of what I've seen has used buttons to created monogrammed framed art. I really like the look and texture of the buttons, so I created my own art by using buttons on this family sign.


First, I went to Goodwill and spent $3 on a frame to repurpose for this project.


Then, I trimmed two pieces of scrapbook paper that I already had to fit inside the frame.


Next, I went to JoAnn's and got a variety of red buttons for about $5 total.


Then, I went home and using a large font, I printed the word "Family" on my computer.  Once the word was glued to the scrapbook paper, I hot glued a variety of red buttons to the letter "F".


Lastly, using acrylic craft paint, I quickly painted the wood frame black.


After the paint had dried over night, I hung my new piece of art on the family room wall. And as most of my projects do, this piece of art cost me less than $10:)
