Button frames

My son made a button frame from lolly sticks at school so I decided to copy him and make a pretty one with some buttons that I had bought but didn't have a use for. Here it is: 

I started off with some plain lolly sticks that I stuck together using a glue gun and then I painted them white as I wanted them to have a white background rather than a wooden colour.



I then used the glue gun to glue the buttons on like this. These amazing buttons are craft buttons that I bought on Amazon that came from China. 


Then I used some ribbon to put them together and backed them in strong white card so that a picture can be slotted in the top. I haven't put any pictures in there just yet as I don't have anywhere for it to go at the moment and I may decide to give it away instead.
