Button Elephant! (Great For A Nursery Or Baby Shower Gift!)
posted in Family & Kids on 9/23/2013

Cutest baby shower gift and nursery decoration!

To make this cute little elephant, all you need are some buttons, hot glue, a wee bit of paint, a canvas board (which you can find at any craft store) and a frame.

As you can see, I used watered-down paint to quickly fill in the outline. This makes the end product look more professional.

Now for the buttons!
Get out your trusty glue gun and add the first layer like so, trying to cover as much space as possible without going over the edges.

For the next layer of buttons, try to overlap along the edges to create a straighter line, and fill in any gaps.

For the ears, just use some buttons that are bigger and darker than your base colour. Use white and black buttons for the eyes. Add some button balloons, button grass, and a bit of detail with a pen.
