Pinterest Inspired Art here! {super cute!} 

We made this little guy back in 2011 when I was pregnant with Kallie and my husband was away on business. I needed something to occupy my hands and her nursery was a little bare. I got the idea while surfing pinterest. I thought for a second about buying it off etsy because of course they had it there for $35.00. But I just knew I could replicate it for cheap so me and michelle made a trip to Hobby Lobby, buttons of all cute-sty colors! 

Pink, Purple,Orange, Green, Yellow and Blue...LOVE them all!! They all matched her bedding so I grabbed them all in one pack for about $4, the 14X12 styrofoam was $8.

I found the perfect fabric to cover the Styrofoam with a bird/branch pattern for $5 and ribbon for $3. Now I was ready to start, I already had my glue gun so here we go. I trimmed the fabric to fit the styrofoam including the sides. Lay the fabric face down{make sure your straight} and secured it with hot glue around the edges. So here goes nothing.. Figure out the size of you want and free hand your letter.

I LOVE cursive initials so that was the obvious choice. I started from the middle of the letter to make sure I was centered using random colors and layered buttons on top for depth readjusting as I went. It was actually fun and stupid simple. 

Here is the finished product that im pretty proud of!For the finishing touch I added the ribbon{in a Watermelon Pink} around the edges and as a loop to hang it. So to sum it up I spent $20 and It was HANDMADE by mommy!
