DIY Colorful Button Canvas Painting

– 8×10 White Canvas – Colorful buttons in assorted sizes – Glue

materials needed

step 1

Start by sorting the buttons that you like with your child. I allowed my child to pick all the buttons she liked. However, you can sort buttons by size, such as large and small, or color-coordinate the buttons.

step 2

We applied glue all over the canvas. You can also choose a particular shape, like a circle or heart. We opted to glue the entire canvas so that we could cover it entirely with buttons.

step 3

Begin taking buttons and placing them all over the canvas. My child placed the buttons wherever she wanted. To create some symmetry and cohesiveness, I filled in the blank areas with buttons of varying sizes.

step 4

Allow the canvas to dry to create a colorful work of art. Once it is dry, you can display it in the kids’ room or somewhere that needs a pop of color.
