Hey everyone! Happy happy happy Friday! It's been a long week here at the Cole House, and I am beat. However, I did want to share a button monogram that I made a few days ago. Remember this? I couldn't resist. Here it is!
All you need is a canvas, some burlap (or other material of choice) cut about 3 inches larger than your canvas, a variety pack of coordinating buttons, glue, and a heave-duty stapler.
First, staple the fabric onto the the back of the canvas. Start from the middle, and work your way out, tightening as you go.
Next, trim the corners so you don't have a ton of fabric to form your corners.
Then fold like you're wrapping a present and trim as necessary.
If you've ever reupholstered furniture, this should be a cinch! Then just glue your buttons in the shape of your letter, layering to fill in the gaps.
I also attached a ribbon for hanging by stapling it to the top edge of the canvas.
Another easy-peasy project!

Jamie, this is so very doable and adorable. I'm going to have to figure out how to work something like this into some spot in my house. Thanks for the idea and thanks for stopping by to leave me a sweet comment!

Hi Jamie over from Kathe's. I make all my families Christmas gifts and I have two granddaughters that this will be perfect for. I will use a pink fabric as they are so very girly girl. Thanks so much.
