I like big buttons and I cannot lie!

I'm going to let you in on my embarrassing little world for a second. After I wrote the title to this post, I continued singing Baby got Back in my head and I swear Sir Mix A Lot must live somewhere inside me. I remembered the whole dang song. Talk about a waste of brain space. Turn around, stick it out, even white boys gotta shout Baby got Back. Focus Kristy!

I'm still laughing at myself... Ok, big buttons. I picked up this bottom half to a cheese dome at the thrift store the other day. I had originally planned to make a cupcake stand with it but it was a little big.



Can you see that price tag? $0.49 and I think it was 50% off of that.


I decided to make a big button to sit on a shelf my craft studio. This was seriously a 15 minute project and 10 minutes of that was drying time.

I used my cordless drill and one of these (not really sure it's technical name)


to drill four holes in the center.


After a light sanding. I gave it a coat of Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint. It is my go-to favorite! Thanks to our crazy hot days, it was dry in less than 10 minutes.

At first I wasn't going to put threads in it


but then I changed my mind. I do that a lot. I just put 2 strands of twine through the holes and tied it off in the back.


And up close


Which way do you like it better? Threads or no threads?
