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!
debbie
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!
Nicole
Love the idea. I have friends that little ones looking for things for them to do over the summer.
...love Maegan
adorable.
Amg
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.
Kristin
This is just the most adorable idea. I love it, especially the variety between the buttons and brads. Thanks so much for the idea!

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

This is absolutely adorable and would be lovely to make as a gift the next time. One of my friends is due a baby girl in July, so can’t wait to find out what her name will be so I can make one!
