While browsing Pinterst, I came across a project that I knew would
(a) be easy and
(b) would be NO way I could mess up.
A Button Tree
When I pinned this craft, it was right after Christmas. Now that it's February, I felt a button "tree" didn't fit my Valentine's decor currently adorning my walls.
So...I decided to adapt this craft to a Valentine's Button Wreath.
Here's What You Need:
* Buttons - any color (I used pinks, purples, reds, and turquoise)
* Sewing Pins (you need a lot of these, I underestimated)
* A foam cutout - any shape (I used a wreath, use whatever shape calls to you)
* Hot Glue Gun (not mandatory, but helpful)
Here's How You Do It:
* SERIOUSLY SIMPLE
* Start by adding a sewing pin to a button, and placing it on your foam cutout.
* Continue doing this until no foam is visible.
* When you're happy with the way it looks, you're done! Yes, that simple.
* NOTE: I ran out of pins towards the end, and didn't feel like buying more. I pulled out my handy glue gun and glued on the
non-visible buttons (the ones that fell on the sides of the wreath).
I am actually very happy with the way this wreath turned out. I used every button I had, including the covers to the button jars (which looked like mega-large buttons). I even glued one to the back to use as the wreath hanger.
I highly recommend this craft. I don't think there's anyway you can mess this one up!
