Happy Frog with Buttons Wall Art

By Jen Goode on April 6, 2012 in Home Decor, Kids Crafts

Sometimes a few buttons can finish off a piece perfectly. This month is National Frog Month, so I thought it would be fun to create some wall art with one of my printable images… a frog, of course! I found some cute little flower shaped buttons in my green button bonanza which I thought would be a perfect fit for this project.
