Pinterest Inspirations #1

As I've mentioned before I'm totally addicted to Pinterest and since becoming an avid 'pinner' I've found so many projects which I want to individualize and try out for myself. These posts are that exactly, creating projects which I've seen on Pinterest and making them my own. You can find me on Pinterest here and the link to this project here; it's originally taken from http://www.spearmintbaby.com/ one of my favorite blogs/sites for DIY ideas.

Before starting this project I made a prototype to ensure I had enough (pretty) buttons; if you need to buy some more eBay or Amazon are great places to get them for cheap, a 50g bag costing about £2.

Prototype complete, time to move on to the real thing. I decided to create a mixed media piece, using white linen instead of canvas and stitching through it in pink, yellow and green thread. After this I got to grips with the UHU and affixed buttons to the canvas in an L shape; this can get a little messy but the saving grace of UHU as opposed to superglue is it's a lot less messy and you can't glue your fingers together.

This is such a quick and easy project and requires little preparation. Affix the buttons to the canvas and build up on this, filling in any spaces with more beads, buttons and glitter.

Finito!
