I made this to brighten a patch of the house yesterday, and I thought I'd share it with you, I hope you like it.
Buy a cheap box frame, approx 2cm + deep so you have a nice deep space in which to fill. I bought this one from a DIY store we have here in England called Wilkinsons-pick a colour to paint the frame, I used Farrow & Ball Lime White Number 1
I used a selection of our mixed buttons to fill the frame once painted, I also did give it two coats.
( I did sort through and get the brighter colours in the frame first so they'd show at the front.) Put the back back on tight- if you run out of buttons, you might like to put a few sheets of tissue paper in too.
I hope you like them!
I was also thinking of doing one with old Sylko used threads, if could get ones that fit inside the box.
And also one with lots of coloured beads. I'd like to see what you crafty people would put in them!
(also- appologies for such low-light levels on the wall pictures- it's so dark this Spring, come on sunshine!)
