Fun With Button Art

by Patti @Hearth and Vine

While cleaning up my office/craft room I came across an old collection of buttons from my grandmother. She passed away just before I got married so my husband and I moved into her home. She was an avid sewer and I was lucky enough to be able to keep some of her notions and handy sewing tools.

So when I saw the buttons after all these years I thought, why not make something special to remember her by. I remembered seeing wall hangings of hearts, made with old jewelry pieces, so I thought I’d try my hand at making some cool button art in the shape of a flower.

I already had a small canvas and I printed out some clipart to use as a guide.

Remember this old tracing trick? Using a regular pencil scribble on the back of the clipart then turn it over and trace the image on top of the canvas. It will leave a nice light outline.

It was really easy. I can’t decide if I want a frame this button art or not.

Either way I love that I have something special hanging on my wall from grandma.

Thank you. I'm really looking for a place that is something like social media. I'm needing to expand the places I'm going.
