Beavercreek Adult Take-and-Make: Button Heart Plaque

 

Hi Crafters!

This month's craft is to make this button heart plaque.

Click here to reserve your kit:  https://greenelibrary.bibliocommons.com/events/63dd20026ef7092800a7266f

Included in your kit:

1 piece chipboard

1 piece music note paper

1 antique-ish key

Red buttons

Ribbon 

NOT included in your kit:

scissors

glue (I used hot glue, but I think other types would work)

Instructions:

  1.  Trace the chipboard onto the music note paper and cut out.  Glue down the paper making sure to get the edges and corners attached well.

2.  Arrange buttons into a heart shape outline and glue down.

3.  Fill in the heart with buttons and glue down.

4.  Create a second layer of buttons on the heart and glue down.

5.  Thread the two thicker ribbons through the key hole in the key and tie a knot.

6.  Make a bow.  Glue the bow just above the button heart.

7.  Attach the white ribbon onto the knot and make a bow in front.

8.  Use the remaining ribbon to create a hanger.  Knot both ends of the thicker ribbons together.  Glue them to the back of the chipboard.

9.  I used a nail file to roughen up the edges of the chipboard to make it look a little more rustic.  This is optional, of course.

That's it!  I hope you had fun and, as always, feel free to share your finished piece on our Facebook page.

Happy Crafting!
