Check In: Fall Pinterest Projects

I set a small goal to complete several projects I found inspiration on via Pinterest.  If you'll remember back from this post I had a handful of projects to accomplish by October 31st.  So here's my first check in and a small update.  I've actually added to that original list because I've become so inspired and infatuated by several ideas I've found.  So first, let me talk about the project I decided to start first.  The first thing I probably ever pinned and first project I thought would  be easiest enough for me to accomplish is the button letter.


As luck would have it, my little ones name actually starts with the letter A so I was immediately down for this project.  I didn't take pictures along the way because the project really is that simple that it's not needed but here's a list of what you'll need for this project:

Cardstock
Craft Glue
Buttons
Pencil (to sketch out your letter)
Frame

All of these supplies were found at a craft store so you should have no issues finding any of them.  I started by  sketching my letter around a stencil.  Then you simply start layering buttons how you like them.  I let mine dry overnight before attempting to hang it.  I just popped the glass out since the buttons didn't fit with the glass.  So here's my finished product:


Not bad, huh?  I didn't think so.  Adalyn's room has pink and teal splashes of color so I loved the buttons I found.  Now that I'm thinking of it, this would have looked super cute on a canvas.

As I continue with my Fall Pinterest Projects I'll be sure to update you along the way.  How about you, have you completed any projects you found inspiration from Pinterest?
