I just finished up a cute little project and I need to share it!
His name is Pubert. Betcha thought his name would be ‘Eli’, didn’t ya?Actually, I bet you thought an inanimate object of craftiness shouldn’t have a name. Well, I’ll have you know, buttons are people too! When will you realize that?!?!
Pubert is the first animal to join my button zoo. I can’t wait to try more of these. The white frame finishes it off so nicely- it is perfect for a nursery.
This was such an easy project (as usual, hahaha.) I can’t wait to share a tutorial asap! But for now, I’m going to go enjoy a cup of tea. With Pubert… heh.
UPDATE! I finally got my act together and posted a tutorial on how to make your own button elephant! Check it out!
Absolutely ADORABLE!
thank you, someone!!
have a good night 
it’s super cute! will match our nursery perfectly, if M doesn’t decide to keep it for her daughter! haha
How and where can I buy amazing button art?!
Hi Krystal! I am in the process of setting up an Etsy account to sell them on, but until then you can email me at dotfalcon@gmail.com
do you have a how to tutorial so that we can make our own? or are you just selling?
I am planning on posting a tutorial asap! My son ruined my laptop recently (grrr) and I am buying a new computer in a few days- then I will be posting one as soon as I can
For now I’ll give you a tip: use bigger buttons to fill in the animal first, and then add smaller buttons to fill in any cracks and make the lines smoother 
Happy buttoning !
oh ok, great! are you super gluing? i don’t see any thread…
a glue gun is my weapon of choice
just takes some practice to glue it in a way to avoid lots of mess 
good luck!!!
Pubert as in… Puberty???

This is the most adorable picture ever!!! Any chance you would be interested in making a Giraffe tutorial?
mmmaybe one day! im focusing mostly on painting right now- but ill give you a couple of tips right here- find a good outline of a giraffe (google images search “clipart giraffe” and trace that onto your canvas. layer on yellow buttons in the same way i did the blue layer on the elephant, then add some brown spots over top and any little details like eyes and a tail etc with tiny buttons, or googly eyes, or ribbon etc. hope that helps !!! <3
Thank you so much!!!
I love all your button projects. Who knew buttons could be so fun.

http://www.buttonlovers.com is pretty awesome- although if you hunt around online you will probably run into a pile of different cheap sources- certain dollar stores around here used to sell a bunch but not so much anymore… walmart even has some big mixed bags
and my fave spot where i get most of mine is thrift and antique stores! 
Do you glue directly on the back board?
Hi Linda! I glued right onto the canvas board I was using- over top of some paint- you can check out the detailed tutorial here: http://bustedbutton.com/2012/06/04/buttonelephant-tutorial/
