DIY Ombre Button Monogram

This fun DIY Ombre Button Monogram from Lelanie Denso is a great way to decorate a little girl or boy's room.  Made with felt and a variety of buttons, this is a quick and easy project that's great for using up fabric scraps and your favorite colored buttons.

Button Monogram

Materials:

  • Felt or fabric pieces (with different shades that will give an ombre effect)
  • Embroidery hoop (I used one with 17 cm. diameter)
  • Buttons of different sizes
  • Elastic ruffled trim (or any other trimming)
  • Fabric glue/hot glue or any other strong glue
  • Sewing machine

 

Instructions:

  1. First, cut the felt (I used 4) into 5.5 cms If you use more felt pieces/colors, then you will have to adjust the measurement. I mased this measurement on the 17 cms (diameter) embroidery hoop which I used for this project.

  2. Join the felt pieces by sewing them together 1/8" away from the seam. If you don't have a sewing machine, use fabric glue or any other stronger glue to attach the felt pieces together.

  4. Fit the felt in the embroidery hoop. Cut excess felt. I left 1/2" so I could glue it to the hoop using hot glue.

  5. I traced a nice letter A (my daughter's initial) on a felt piece and cut it.

  7. I used buttons of different sizes and shades. I even used small rose beads to fill smaller spaces.
     
  8. I glued an elastic ruffled gingham trim on the hoop.
