Button Art

Button Art

Today I felt like painting...I'm in a rather artsy craftsy kind'a mood right now :)

I had a couple canvases just hanging out...bored..waiting for me to get some sort of creative jolt

So I made this:


I painted the blue sky first, then the tree.  After all was dry I added buttons with a hot glue gun.

I had a lot of fun with this project, and really like how it turned out :) 

I originally planned on doing bright multi colored buttons on the tree, but I  went with greens/yellows instead this time around.  

Now I need to frame it and hang it up.  

Thanks for stopping by, till next time!

    That is so cool. I love buttons and would have never thought to use them like this. I got a post done for Thursday, yes I got out of my robe, and took some cute pics. Thanks again for the motivation.
