Sorted Button Valentine Heart
I know I said the Valentine Tissue Wreath was one of my favorites, but this is my favorite!
I absolutely love how this looks on my mantel right now.
It glimmers and shines in the light.
Henry started with sorting buttons
by color in a muffin tin.
(I was planning on only using reds, pinks, and whites)
I made a swirl design in glue around and around a cutout heart.
Henry added buttons to his desire!
(Henry wouldn't have it with my color selection and used every single color.)
... and kept adding ...
I added some in the tiny spaces.
Then I glued it to a pink scrapbook page and
propped it up against a picture frame on my mantel...
and its oh-so-pretty.
