Can you believe it? It's time to start thinking about creating for Christmas. I guess it just never feels real until it's okay to really display your creations!
For this tree I wanted to use some of my many many buttons to create a little Christmas tree.
1. Using a 3-7/8"x8-7/8" Styrofoam Cone, paint green using acrylic paint.
2. Using strong adhesive glue green buttons on cone. I used a straight pin to hold the buttons until the glue dried.
3. Once dry, glue on pink buttons.
4. Top tree with ribbon.
Ribbon: Hibiscus Burst Saddle Stitch (Papertrey Ink)
Buttons: New Leaf, Ripe Avocado, Hibiscus Burst (Papertrey Ink)
Paint: Leaf Green Craft Paint (Apple Barrel Colors Plaid)
Do you have a ton of buttons? I haven't tried this, but I think a button ornament would be super cute!
