Well you know 4th July will be just around the corner and I needed to get some ideas out there for using red, white and blue buttons and of course I walked around my favorite craft store and came up with this cute frame.
Here is what you'll need:
Favorite Findings - #1210 Star Gems Embroidery Floss - red, white, blue
Funtastics by Streamline: #0199, #0215, #0214
Wood Frame (your choice)
Scrapbook paper Glitter - red, white, blue
Ribbon
Glue
White Paint (your choice)
paintbrush
scissors
Adhesive Foil letters/numbers 1. paint outer rim of frame and inside with white paint and set aside to dry.
2. place scrapbook paper face down and lay frame over and trace (remember you will only need to trace 1/2 on each paper - see photo above).
3. apply a thin layer of glue to frame and place scrapbook sheet ontop (make sure to even out to remove air bubbles. 4. cut approx. 3 inches of red and white ribbon (2 each).
5. adhere adhesive letters to bottom portion of frame. 6. to add glitter to buttons: lay a thin layer of glue ontop of buttons and sprinkle glitter - remove excess. 7. Add embroidery floss (hint - I used 2 of each color) knot on front.
8. Glue remaining buttons onto frame. 9. Add picture and enjoy!
Buttons and Glitter! Two of my FAVORITE craft items!
