Button Flag Wooden Frame Craft

Hi friends!!! I’m so glad you decided to click on over to our DIY Button Flag Wooden Frame tutorial today!

If you haven’t seen them, you are missing out! Michaels, Dollar Tree and even Walmart have some super inexpensive wooden frames in their craft aisles, that are absolutely perfect for DIY decor projects in your home {we have even used them to create pineapples and unicorns picture frame tutorials on Glued To My Crafts!}

These types of 4×6″ wooden frames aren’t exactly elaborate or exactly heavy {hence why they are cheap} but with the flat surface being able to take on nearly anything, you are sure to make custom pieces within minutes!

Take for example today’s patriotic Button Flag Wooden Frame idea. Would you believe that this craft only took me less than $10 to pull together? And with just an hour of my time, I made a flag themed piece that I’m proud to show off every day in my home!

So whether for a patriotic holiday, home decor or in my case, to show off my lovely military family – this DIY is super easy to recreate and sure to be fun as well!

Just check out my full tutorial below to see what I’m talking about. Then stock up on those inexpensive $1 wooden frames and make some masterpieces today! Remember – it’s also nice to gift as well!

PAIR YOUR BUTTON FLAG FRAME WITH —> Paper Plate Flag

Craft Supplies:

Large Square Wood Frame – one per craft {Michaels or Walmart}
Red/White/Blue Craft Buttons {small buttons work best for this DIY!}
Glue Gun or Thick Tacky Glue

Directions:

The steps are easy but it takes some patience!
First envision a flag on your frame. Maybe even draw light pencil marks so you see it better.
Then working in sections {I suggest starting with the blue area first} start gluing down your buttons on the frame, in rows. My big suggestion is just put lines of glue/buttons down and then come back later to fill in any blank spots with another layer of buttons on top. Don’t worry about filling in each little space, in at first. The more layers of buttons you are put on, the fuller it will look down the road. Remember – it doesn’t need to be completely covered either! You are not going to be able to fill in each spot/corner because of the shape/size of your buttons. A little space is ok :- )
Another big suggestion I have, is to work in stages so you don’t get overwhelmed. I first did the blue section, walked away and then came back for the red and then the white. It’s ok to be a slow crafter on this step!!!
And finally – remember to let your Button Flag Frame dry completely, in a flat undisturbed away, when it’s completely covered & done.
Then place a beautiful picture inside and display proudly!!!
