Tutorial: Ice cream cone button art

Buttons don’t always have to be used in functional button ways. They can also be used entirely for decorative purposes, like in this adorable ice cream cone button art. Mary from Little Mama Bowtique shares a tutorial at The Ribbon Retreat showing how you can make it. You can do this with any simple drawing, but ice cream cones are so fun for summer! If you don’t feel like sorting through your button stash to find enough buttons, you can always just buy packs of buttons in the colors you need. (And then add the leftovers to your button stash!)
