LOVE Buttons for Valentine's Day

Mother Daughter Projects
by Mother Daughter Projects
While viewing Restoration Hardware’s spring 2016 online catalog of decor items, I noticed glass cloches filled with collectible objects and thought they’d make an easy & personal decor piece. These were the inspiration for this subtle & quick Valentine’s decoration. It’s a nice addition to my winter table-scape decor.
Materials & Tools


- Alphabet buttons—I used the word “love"


- Wood skewer sticks


- Spray paint


- Sculpey clay or any non-hardening clay (non-hardening so everything is removal so the glass dome can be used again)


- Glass dome with bottom


- Glue—I used hot glue


- Scissors or wire cutters (something to cut the wood skewers)


- About a 1/2 cup of vase filler—I used plastic “ice” & flat marbles
Steps


1. Glue letters to sticks, let dry


2. Cut sticks so they fit inside dome


3. Spray paint letters/sticks, let dry


4. Cover bottom of dome base with about a 1/4” thickness of clay


5. Place sticks into clay, check placement to be sure they fit under the dome


6. Pour vase filler into glass dome; carefully place dome over wood base
