Got buttons???

[Beehive Vintage Goods]

If you are anything like me, you have jars full of buttons. This is a great Christmas project to make while you are watching your fave Xmas movie at night!

All you need are oodles of buttons, a styrofoam form (whatever size and shape you like) and fancy dressmakers headpins! Great for kids to help out too!

I am going to do a tree shaped one tonight.

Warning - highly addictive and a tad time consuming! :smiliepresent:

Hint: If you are using colored buttons and want to use less buttons to cover up the white foam below, cut out circles of colorful scrapbooking paper to position strategically underneath the buttons - then proceed as usual.

That's a darling idea, and it would keep me busy doing something other than eating cookies!

I finished the tree last night in neutrals. Oh...to keep or give away???

Oooooo, I like that! I'd have to keep it up in the dress room year round, just in case I needed to pluck some "fruit" from the tree for a repair.
