Can I wash the button snowman craft if it gets dirty?
Since buttons and glue may not withstand washing, it is best to spot-clean the craft if it gets dirty. Use a damp cloth or sponge to gently clean the surface.

Where can I buy buttons in bulk?
I love finding bulk buttons on Amazon. They have everything from wood buttons new, old, any color and size. I go a little crazy when shopping here because I use my free Amazon Gift Cards and pay nothing out of pocket for them.
Another one of my favorite places to find bulk buttons is on Etsy. This is a great place to find super fun vintage buttons in every shape, size, and color. I saw a box of insect-shaped buttons recently like ladybugs, dragonflies, bumblebees, butterflies, and more!

Directions to make DIY Button Snowman Craft
Sand your pallet board if desired. I usually knock off a few stray pieces of wood and the rough-cut edges by lightly sanding them. You could also paint it now if desired, something with glitter to it would look amazing!
Place your board on a flat surface and begin to lay out the outline of the snowman's body shape. I started with the bottom and moved to the top. Add the hat at the top and remove and adjust some buttons to add a blue scarf.
Using a hot glue gun, glue your button outline onto the board.
Fill in the body, and hat with additional white and black buttons.
Repeat by adding a second and third (if desired) layer of buttons with hot glue.

Finish by adding the nose with small orange buttons.
Take an old toothbrush and lightly scrub your buttons to remove the hot glue strings and help you determine which buttons need a little more glue.
That's it! I'd let it dry completely overnight then add it to your new winter decor the next day!
