First I drew a light outline of a heart on my wooden plaque (which I had painted white) Then I attempted to glue some buttons to make the outline.
Here's what it looked like after a little effort. It was hard to get the buttons to fill the center of the heart without too big of gaps. I am wondering if I should have painted the heart red on the plaque so that the spaces wouldn't be quite as obvious. IDK.
Then I decided the heart on the plain white looked a little "unfinished" so I used a sponge to add a little pink.
I'm still not totally satisfied with it but I will definitely try something with buttons again...they are fun to work with. Have you seen the Christmas Trees created out of buttons? I'm thinking a jack o lantern might be fun to try with orange and black buttons. Well, my heart is nothing fancy but I put in on display in the little desk.
