Or, the family dog in buttons. Take a look at this video on the White House Holiday Decoration Preparations.
Buttoned up Bo
First Dog Bo is rendered in buttons and beads; and there’s another version in felt, another in marshmallows and licorice, and one in pom-poms! We urge you to attempt this really cute Holiday décor idea with your family dog as the model, beginning with a chicken wire form which can be molded to your dog’s likeness, and ending in raiding your button stash. Comment here and on the ASG Facebook page with the results!
No dog? You can do other button craft. Here are a couple of inspiring pictures to get you started.
The button ornament downloaded from Pinterest. Sorry, I cannot locate the origin of this image.
