Make a Sweet Valentine Button Shirt

Hearts are hot in February, but they make great adornments year-round too! Look what Erin from Landsdowne Life made for her daughter to wear: a Valentines’ Day-inspired turtleneck sprinkled with adorable little heart buttons. She repurposed a Christmas dress-up shirt into this sweet little number, and now I am thinking of all the things that would be vastly improved with a few heart buttons! Thanks for posting your great idea on our Facebook page, Erin! [click here for how to make a valentine button shirt]
