You can read my post and see the tutorial on that here.
I knew I wanted to bring something into the nursery that displayed Khloe's initials. I spelled her name with a K to be unique, so I wanted to do something with K.
On one of my Pinterest kicks, I found this button art that I thought would be cute.
So I tried it out and quickly found out that whoever made this is a freak of nature.... a very crafty, perfect freak of nature! Look how straight the lines are with round buttons.... how do you do that?? Mine looked all lumpy and not perfect AT ALL!!! I don't think I have the patience to fit all those buttons perfectly together. I'm more of an instant gratification kind of gal.
Plan B- make it out of beads instead of buttons.
I bought a cheap 8"x10" frame from the dollar store and spray painted it glossy white. I disgarded the glass.
I started out by printing out a K in the font and size that I wanted mine to be. I attached that to the backing of the frame.
I took a roll of burlap from Lowe's (you can find it in the garden section) and layered it over my K printout until it was the thickness I wanted and hot glued the edges. I left it translucent enough so that I could see the K through it as a guide to glue my beads.
I hot glued the beads to the burlap until every bit of the printout was covered.
It wasn't the plan I started out with, but I actually like this better than the buttons anyways, gives the room a bit of bling ;)
