Button monogram craft: DIY
By mom4life | Category: Creating a Home, Home Crafts
In a previous post I gushed about how much I have enjoyed using the website Pinterest. I want to show you a project I recently completed that was fully inspired by a Pinterest find which I had tucked away in my “to make for the home” board.
The instructions on how to create this button monogram craft comes from this Do It Yourself website and this was the image that kick started me:
Want to make one of your own? Here’s how:
1) Print off the letter you wish to use for your monogram from your computer in the font and size of your choice.
2) Cut the letter out and discard.
3) Place your letter stencil over the fabric you wish to glue your bottons on.
4) Arrange your bottons to your liking inside the border of your stencil.
5) Remove the stencil and hot glue the buttons in place.
6) Allow the glue to dry and frame. I used a frame I already had on hand and simply removed the glass from the front.
Aside from being a fun craft for your home, I think this would also make a really lovely wedding gift to a new couple. Or if you use colorful buttons, fabric and frame, it would be a really cute baby shower gift!
what a great idea for girls to do at a party!! I think I will be doing this with my older two girls. I used to collect buttons and got them pretty cheap as a bag at Walmart…

I love Pinterest and at the same time it is such a bad influence. So many crafts, so little time.
