I also grabbed a bag of buttons. I went with blues and greens. I got a bag of about 130 buttons for under $3. I only ended up using one bag for this project but I had bought two, just in case. I'm pretty horrible at estimating supplies for projects. I almost ALWAYS have way too much but I guess I'd rather have too much than too little!
So all I did was starting hot gluing the buttons around the letter. I only covered the top surface but may go back and fill up the sides as well. It took me about 20 minutes to finish and I think it turned out pretty cute! Up close, you can see where I went a little overboard with the hot glue but really, from far away you can't tell.
It currently sits on one of the shelves we made from scratch (more on that later, and how they didn't turn out so great...)...my janky camera's WAY TOO BRIGHT flash makes everything look like garbage but still, it's an inexpensive, but fun way to bring a little personalized decoration to your house. :)
