Cute Elephant `Painting` Out Of Buttons
You might see more and more complex DIY projects out there
on the internet. Some will teach you how to make exquisite dishes and some will
show you how to build yourself an entire home out of logs. We'll show you how
to make a cute elephant `painting` out of buttons, which can go perfectly as a
baby shower gift! This is all that you will need:
·
a bunch of colorful buttons;
·
a piece of cardboard or canvas;
·
glue;
·
(optional) pencil or marker;
·
a black frame;
We want to warn you that the following steps do
require some artistic skills of a 4 year-old. So, firstly think about what the
elephant should look like. You can simply copy the example shown here or come
up with a more authentic one. While you're at it, feel free to experiment with
different poses of the elephant, or any other kind of animal for that matter!
If you like a slug, then do the snail; it's entirely up to you. The next steps
are quite easy and will transport you to the days of craft classes in school.
Glue each button, one at a time, to the canvas or cardboard. Use different type
of colored buttons to mimic different objects, like grass or balloons. You
could use a pencil or marker in order to make some of the smoother or not the
easy shapes: the little heart or the string for the balloons. When the glue has
dried completely and your `painting` has hardened, put a black frame around it.
Done!
