Button Covered Notice Board

Sorry about the wet glue, I am always a bit too eager to get things photographed.
Button Covered Noticeboard
I have too many buttons and have decided that I must use them ......  most of these came from the craft section of Home Bargains, for no more than £1 a bag.
Close Up of Buttons- Button Noticeboard
All I have done is cover the frame of a Poundland notice board with them using a strong PVA glue.

When I had covered the frame once I added a few more buttons on top to give it a bit more depth.  I think I will keep the board somewhere safe and use it as one of my Christmas/New Year makes.

    Oh Helen, I love this! I've got one of those plain notice boards waiting to be prettied up, I must try this! I've got hundreds of those pink heart shaped buttons that I got from a amrket here in Milton Keynes. I'm sure whoever you give it to will be chuffed

    Absolutely love it!
    My daughter has just started painting her notice board frame when I showed her this!

    Must get down to the Milton Keynes Keyes market like Carly. I wonder which stall she bought hers from?

Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!

Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
