Now we are really starting to get into the Christmas spirit! Our latest craft to share with you is an adorable button Christmas tree – this is really easy to make and would make a super gift – or it would look lovely on your own shelf too I’m sure!
I think buttons are great for crafts – that’s probably why I have so many of them! To make this tree you will need to dig out lots of green buttons and a few other things – here’s our list of what’s needed:
Then just follow a few simple steps to make your own Button Tree!
- I started by pinning my larger buttons onto the polystyrene cones. For the larger buttons, you might need to use 2 pins for each button to hold them in place.
- Once you have fairly well covered the polystyrene using the larger buttons, you can start to fill in the gaps using smaller ones – 1 pin per button is generally sufficient for these!
- Continue covering up the polystyrene in this way until only green buttons and colorful pins can be seen! Remember to be careful when pinning the buttons on near the top – if you are using long pins they could punch through the other side of your tree. I found that pointing my pins downwards helped to avoid any finger pricks!
It really is as easy as that! A beautiful Christmassy decoration made using only 3 materials! I hope that you will enjoy making yours!
