Button Monograms: DIY Style

While perusing Pinterest today, I stumbled on the CUTEST image. A wall hanging with a monogram made entirely of buttons. How fantastic! The pillows and wall hangings are absolutely gorgeous, but right now I can't swing the $65 price tag. If you have the money, definitely support Letter Perfect Designs and purchase one of hers!

We'll be making the wall hanging, but isn't the pillow cute too?

For our house, I'd rather save for a date night with my handsome hubs (who doesn't mind the flurry of fabric scraps and glue that is my craft world). They seem simple enough to make, and I might even try it one night this week. Armed with coupons (I'm back on the train full force), I'm sure I can do this for less than $20.

Update: the table + leaf + 4 chairs has arrived from North Carolina (via my mom and aunt) and I cannot wait to start staining it. Once we have the table stained gorgeous walnut, we'll be able to pick and install a new chandelier, as well as buy a matching rug. So exciting! The most neglected room in the house (dining area) will now be on par with the rest of its' room friends.
