Button Project Fail

This week for my Craft Month project I was going to make a button bowl. I saw a picture on Pinterest and thought "I can do that".

Well it started out fun and then the buttons began slipping down the balloon because of the glue. I guess Elmer's craft glue isn't the best to work with but its all I had. :(

I was so excited to make this button bowl. The one I saw was wicked cute! I have a lot of small buttons I haven't used and I thought this would be a great project. In my defense , the balloon round up pin didn't mention why type of glue to use. I really should have some tacky glue on hand. But hey, lesson learned.

I am not giving up that easily though. On my next outing to a craft store I'll pick up some tacky clue!

here is a link to a button bowl project ( I should of researched some before I started my project )

: I popped the balloon too early :(

I also tries to make polymer clay button... I plan to invest in a button mold! But these aren't so bad.

: I never claimed to be an expert..lol

Until next ~~fail~~ time,

YOP year 5? Seriously?

I can't believe it's year 5 already....... this is my 3rd year participating. The last few days have been productive for me .I made a schedule for the next few months so I stay on track. I STARTED and FINISHED the Zero lovey that was part of my hook challenge. It will be given to my cousin Ryder ( I really like that name ) due in October. I played with the pictures a little in editing. Its something different. ****** I got on the C2C bandwagon and started a few of my own. It is so addicting!! I love this! I ran out of yarn for this one........ so I started this one. ( full skein not pictured) ****** Also, I "dusted off" the Boston Bruin Blanket squares and started sewing them together. Its a bit tricking as you can see.... Why do I punish myself.. hehe my full project list can be found here .
