Use Buttons in Your Favorite Colors for Your Own Unique Tree!

Buttons, beads and odds and ends from old jewelry were used to make this stunning tree. Buttons were attached to a foam cone using straight pins.

Once the cone was covered, the prettiest buttons and other embellishments were used. A lovely candy dish serves as the base.

Launi from Gracious Rain used a different construction technique for her beautiful green and gold button tree. She covered a cardboard yarn cone with green yarn and attached buttons using a glue gun. Learn more and get great tips here.

We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
