Home Decor Project

First of all: this is not my area. I like to scrap book. That is usually the extent of my craftiness.

Thanks to pinterest, I am being more crafty. Yesterday I saw this on pinterest:



Decided to make an H for the Henry household.
Bought:
Canvas
Paint
Buttons (most expensive item- try to catch them on sale instead of getting them same day bc you can't wait to be crafty!)
Thread (had some but wanted heavier)
Ribbon

And below is the progress:














I arranged buttons, superglued them so they would stay, then sewed them on. I wanted the sewing look and to make sure they would stay, but needed them to stay in place. I started off free sewing with out them glued and noticed I started getting crooked.

I could have ordered one for $60 on etsy, but instead made it a Rainy day project...

$30 supplies at hobby lobby
(have a lot of left over buttons bc they don't sell black by itself and I didn't wait for a sale)
And 3 hours of work (while also doing laundry and other projects while canvas dried)

I am getting craftier.. Started crocheting today.



Dog hat instead of human hat= need more practice!

Craftiness for His glory...
