  1. Oh I am in LoVe! Damn I wish I had a girl right now!

    My mom made something similar with my great-grandmother's old buttons buy instead she covered a picture frame and then put a neat b/w photo in it to give to my grandma. Love buttons!

  2. I love this idea! So cute. I am teaching a class of little girls some arts and crafts and I think that will be a great idea for them to try. thanks!

  3. Love the idea. I have friends that little ones looking for things for them to do over the summer.

  4. adorable.

  5. Boys like buttons too!! We just did a sewing session with our homeschool co-op and the boys were the most enthusiastic (ages 5-15). The more “cool” buttons they could sew on their stuffed monsters the better. I think this would be beautiful in any baby’s room.

  6. This is just the most adorable idea. I love it, especially the variety between the buttons and brads. Thanks so much for the idea!

  7. This so adorable I want to make one of these! This is Awesome!!!

  8. I made one! We don’t have children yet, so I used our last name initial instead. Finished it in a shadow box frame (50% off at Hobby Lobby this week). You can see it posted on my blog at staceysbucket.blogspot.com.
    Thank you so much for the cute idea!
