Mosaic Buttons Bowl

Change the look of your entire space with upcycled ideas like this Mosaic Buttons Bowl from Heidi Borchers. Use random buttons from your stash to create a mosaic look. The more colorful and mismatched the buttons, the more your bowl will stand out!

If you're using a wood bowl for this project, start by sanding it down. Begin gluing buttons to the surface of the bowl - start with the big ones and then fill in the small ones. Once the glue dries, put on gloves and begin applying grout directly to the piece. Use your finger to get rid of excess and then take a sponge to the piece to remove any leftover grout. Use a hair dryer to help dry your bowl. Once the grout is completely dry, you can use a wet wipe to clean off the surface.
