It is important to use paint that is made for the particular surface of your door.  Visit a local home supply store, and read over the label of a multipurpose door paint and look for a "metal" or "wooden" option depending on what your door is made out of.  Some paints are great for many surfaces, while other paint is made for specifically metallic surfaces. Alternatively,  you can also find paint specifically for doors at most home supply stores. If your door frame has thick or wide sections, you can use brushes 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) wide. If your door frame is narrow or skinny, use brushes about 1⁄4–1⁄2 in (0.64–1.27 cm) wide. This way, you avoid applying too much paint over the surface of your door. It is helpful to have a few different brushes to choose from. Alternatively, use a mini roller for an extra-smooth finish. Place your bristles into your paint so the tips are covered, about 1⁄4–1⁄2 in (0.64–1.27 cm). Then,  press your brush to your door starting at the top. Cover the top of your door frame, then work your way down the door. Continue painting until all surfaces of your door are covered.  For best results, paint in 1 consistent direction. Avoid going up and down and then back and forth, as that often results in visible brush strokes. Be careful not to scoop up too much paint or dunk your brush too deep into the paint. If you apply an excess of paint, it may run down your door. To prevent streaking or brush strokes, it is best to let your paint dry completely in between coats. Your first coat should dry completely within 2 hours or less. After your first coat is dry, you can easily paint another coat on your door. This helps create an even layer of paint without any transparent areas. Drying time will vary based on the weather, but in general it takes about 30 minutes to 2 hours for a coat of paint to dry. When the paint is still drying, pull up on the corner of your painter’s tape, and peel it away from your door. If you leave your tape on while it dries, some of your edges may peel away with your tape, causing uneven lines. You want your paint to have a neat, straight edge when you lift up the tape. After you’ve applied your final coat, it is best to leave your door undisturbed for a couple hours until it is fully dry. Keep your door propped open until your paint completely dries. Leaving the door open until the paint dries fully prevents smudges on the door frame.

The color and style of the buttons is entirely up to you but you might like to consider some of the following ideas:  Choose matching but varying hues. Choose the exact same color; this could be good where you want it stand out against a plain top. Choose a rainbow of colors. Choose different patterns, or even sizes of buttons. Whatever buttons you choose, ensure that they are in excellent condition and will be able to withstand being turned into an often-worn item of jewelry. Older, more fragile buttons may not be ideal for this project. For alternating colors, choose an even number of buttons. Arrange the buttons in a circle, alternating the colors and check that the look is suitable. You can have an odd number of buttons if the colors are matching. For this, the button needs to be much larger than the petal buttons, as they will sit around it. You can either match this button to the petals or choose a button in a completely different color, texture or style, as long as you like how it looks. Place the large central button over the already-made circle of petal buttons. Make sure you can see the petals poking out from around the edges. Place this one on top of the big button. Do the same for each additional layer you want (obviously, you're limited by how large your central button is).  Using hot glue, glue the petals to the center. Then flip it back over. Use hot glue again, but this time to add the center layers. Now you have a fixed button flower. Glue it to the back of the flower. On the side that doesn't open, lather this with hot glue. Place it on the middle of the craft foam circle. Then place a lot of glue on either side of the pin, and on top of the side that doesn't close. Press it in for a few seconds. Then let it dry. If needed, add more glue until the pin sticks. Enjoy your new button pin.

One of the bass's primary functions is to bridge the gap between the rhythm section (drums) and the other melody instruments (guitar, vocals, piano, etc.) To do so, you have to be locked into both, playing the right root notes to fit the melody and the right rhythm to fit the drums. Good ways to do this are to think in frequencies:  Play a lower note to time up with the low-frequency kick drum, hitting this deep bass not together. Play a higher note (like the same note's octave) to fit in with the snare drum. You want to play limited notes, but you want every single note to hit the listener hard. The only way to do this is to keep a strong, regular rhythm, which makes practicing with a metronome essential. You should always focus on landing on the beats, practicing in 4/4, 8/8, and even 3/2 with your metronome.  Rock bassists tend to create a rocking, bouncing feel by landing hard on the 2nd and 4th beats. Funk bassists must hit the 1st and 3rd beats harder than the other two -- this is one of the roots of the genre. Reggae and ska bass tend to focus on the in-between beats -- the "1 and, 2 and, 3..." beats.
