Materials:

• Flat frame
• Buttons
• Glue
• Your choice of paint or stain
• Foam brush

Instructions:

1. I stained mine and then let it dry completely. I like water based stains for projects like this. They dry quickly and are easy to clean up.
   
   
    
2. Next pick out the buttons you want to use and play around with the placement until you like the way it looks. I think it would look good to do one in all the same color like all brown buttons or all white.
   
   
    
3. The last thing is to glue them on. I chose to use a glue gun because it is easy and this frame is for me. If I were to sell this however, I would use a heavy duty epoxy to ensure they were on permanently.
