When I opened my first store in NYC, way back when, I decorated the store with huge plywood cutouts of buttons, needles and spools of thread.
I then took cord and wrapped the spools, threaded the wooden needles and made a criss-cross in each button.....and then spray painted the entire "wood collage" gold! It looked amazing.
