Step one, find the wooden "A" I had bought for Abby for Christmas two years ago...
Step two, paint the wooden A all white. I thought about using a funky colour but with me using cool buttons, I was worried it would mess up the look. I was trying to keep it simple. (*mental note: when painted something wooden and having to paint all over, don't use newspaper! I ended up switching to aluminum foil instead)
After that, I got out my trusty glue gun and, making sure Abby was occupied and NOT going to try to grab anything from me, I set to work, gluing yellow and pink buttons to it in a random (yet making sense) way. I added the ribbons first and then glued the button over top. It took no time at all. I added a little colourful glitter glue to a few buttons and stacked a few buttons for a layered look. I think it turned out pretty good and though I'm sure I won't be doing a craft every weekend, I finally accomplished a craft that I'm proud of! And it cost me $0 to do it since I already had all the supplies! Here is the end result!
