Milton’s Daughter: Debi’s Design Diary DIY paint: White Swan
Let’s make it!
I used two of the Dollar Tree adhesive tiles so my surface would be completely covered. You can see I clipped the edges of the largest one to fit the circle, then cut pieces from the second tile to fill in.
I hot glued the tiles to the surface and painted the tiles black. I dried it with my heat tool.
TIP: The tiles are plastic, so be careful with the hot glue and heat tool so the tile doesn’t melt.
I used the Dollar Tree snowflake, and Stick Fast glue to adhere the buttons onto it. I glued on the biggest ones first. You can see how the buttons are arranged in layers and by size.
Tip: If you don’t want to use buttons, I played around with some Dollar Tree 3D fabric puffy paint on the snowflake. You can also use any kind of paint markers like Posca. (See first image below.)
I sanded the tile down just a bit. I love how the sanded parts match the gray edge!
I painted the snowflake with Debi’s Design Diary White Swan, and dried it with my heat tool. I ended up dry brushing some Folk Art metallic silver over it, just a little.
I put beads under it to raise it up, then hot glued it to the surface.
TIP: Use your heat tool (or blow dryer) to melt the spider webby stuff from the glue gun.
I hope you’ll try this out and enjoy getting crafty! Let me know in the comments which button craft is your favorite! Links are at top of this blog.
