I really love buttons, collecting and displaying jars of buttons, using buttons on cards and layouts, and for decor projects. This is one of my favorite projects from last fall, a Halloween button tree (I made several in Christmas colors too.) A fun, quick project for a cold night- I bought my tree-shaped cones at the Dollar Tree, glued ribbon down four sides and along the bottom, then started pinning buttons on in random order. The tree looked a little short so I added the antique wooden spool at the end. I may just have to pull out the red-pink-white buttons this winter and make a Valentine's tree too. Happy Crafting!
This is so cool! However, I'll just have to enjoy yours. My son is afraid (REALLY AFRAID) of buttons (I know!). So, I'll just sit here, listen to your cool playlist and enjoy your cool button tree (you know, my grandmother collected buttons, too -- she sewed, a lot -- her jars were the most amazing treasure keepers!).
Okay. Now, I have to run. Have a great day, Kim!
