How to create a button wall hanging

I have recently discovered a facination for buttons and projects using them. Here is my project this weekend for my bathroom.

Materials needed:

• Long, thin wooden beads
• Buttons, any colors you choose
• Glass and bead glue(this is important, it has to be thick like hot glue, but work on slick surfaces)
• Flat canvas or masonite
• Acrylic paint
• Grosgrain ribbon

First, I painted a flat canvas that I bought at Joann Fabrics. I used two colors, and divided them with a thin strip of grosgrain ribbon(I hot glued the edges to the back of the canvas).

While the paint was drying, I layed out wooden beads and buttons on another canvas to get an idea of what I wanted the final project to look like.
