Button monogram

My supplies. A canvas (I got a flat one), red buttons, chevron fabric, my hot glue gun, and my monogram stencil.

I wrapped my fabric around the canvas and hot glued it to the back.

For the stencil I printed out the letter in Times New Roman 500pt font. Then I cut out the inside portion of the letter. I laid it on my canvas and traced the letter.

Then I took my red buttons and started filling up the inside of the letter that I traced. I kept hot gluing the buttons until the space was all filled up, layering them as needed.

I love the way the red letter turned out on the chevron. I think I’ll be making more of these.
