Buttons are an excellent accessory to work with in craft projects. Since they come in so many sizes and colors, the design options are great. If you collect buttons, you may want to round up your red, pink and white ones for this collection of Valentine button crafts.
Here is the list of my ten favorite button crafts.
Best Valentine Button Crafts
1. Button Heart On Canvas
To make this, you would need a canvas board, paint, some felt, and some red buttons.
- First, paint the whole canvas white. When the paint is dry, tape off where you want the black stripes and paint on the black. Once dry, peel off the tape.
- Next, cut the felt into a heart shape with a stencil. Glue the buttons to the heart and glue the heart to the canvas.
- Free hand or stencil paint a message on the bottom with red paint.
2. Love Button Frame
I really like how one big button is used for the letter “o” in this frame.
Vintage Button Heart Frame
You don’t always have to use red and pinks for Valentine’s day. This vintage button frame is a great shabby chic look for the holiday.
Button Heart Valentine’s Day Vase
Transform any glass vase by gluing buttons on it in the shape of a festive heart. You can also add some faux pearls and ribbon, like this one, for added glamour.
Primitive Button Heart
I am loving this rustic primitive button heart idea!
6. Buttons In A Heart Shaped Dish
A simple idea is to just place buttons in a heart shaped dish. I like the neutral shade buttons for this.
Vintage Button And Book Art
8. Wire Button Heart
This is a simple and chic craft idea using just white buttons and wire.
9. Burlap and Button Frame
All you need to do for this vintage chic craft is take out the glass on a vintage inspired frame and line the backer board with burlap. Then, just sew or glue on your vintage mother of pearl buttons!
10. Trio Of Hearts Canvas
This trio of hearts shows off three different shades of buttons! I like it really for any day of the year.
I hope you have been inspired!
Uu, these look so lovely. A nice idea as a Valentine gift, but for a girl
I have a very substantial button collection, both vintage and newer. Many years ago when I first started collecting about 1990 , while living in St.Pete. & before everyone wanted them so they could charge hundreds of dollars for them, my neighbors , all elderly women, would come to my door with these beautiful old tins of their buttons,and their mother’s buttons and their mother’s , mother’s and so on. Those were some of my best. I was also given a lot more when I opened my own alterations business and my customers would come in with them as well. Back in 1990-1994 I made brooches and hair barrettes with some of my vintage buttons. I still have one large brooch (would work on a winter coat) and I used all brass buttons for this one and it still is my favorite one. I love my buttons so much now I hesitate to use them in crafts! When I die my kids will be able to make some money off all my vintage sewing stuff from all the sewing baskets I’ve acquired from auctions etc.
