invasion of the giant buttons


Remember these?


Well, you can probably guess now what I did with them. Giant buttons!

I sanded, primed, painted them, and then hot glued some ribbon in the holes I had Rory drill for me in the middles. I hung them up with those awesome Disc-hangers. (got mine on Ebay)


I LOVE how they look on the wall, they make me smile every time I glance over there!
Speaking of craft rooms... ;)...I put up some updated pics on my crafty space post, so go check it out!

 
I also have a button on my sidebar for future updates!


Cause you KNOW I can't leave well enough alone. I always like to change things up!

LOVE THE GIANT BUTTON IDEA!! I will now be scouring charity shops for old wooden plates/trays to convert.

rebkatz said...

Love them!

(As an aside, there is something about the picture of the whole room that makes me feel like the shelves are going to tip over at any moment. I got nervous for your fabric when I first glanced at it!)

You had better believe I will be scouring the planet for wooden platters. The end.

Brooke said...

These were obviously meant to be really big buttons instead of nasty old cutting boards. For reals. Super cute Jess. :)

Great idea.

Hi, Jess! I've made my own version of your buttons (much more little, but "giant" buttons also) and I've link your post in my blog. Thanks for the inspiration.

Hi, Jess, you "saved" my life with this post. I have to make a present (my boss's wife!) to someone who loves sewing too, and it has been the perfect gift. I have framed three buttons. Here you have the link to my post. Thank you very much again!
