Very cute! You are so creative!
What a great use for buttons! Such festive holiday decorations!
This is one of my favorites of your crafty things! I saw something similar a few years ago where a lady had taken a bunch of old Christmas pins and made a large Christmas tree with them. It was stunning, and I wished I had some old pins. Buttons are easy for me to come by!
I want to do a large version of this. It was a bit tricky fitting it in the little frame, plus I think I could really showcase some pretty buttons I have in my collection if I did a larger one.
What fun…thanks for the inspiring craft! Love it!
Very creative ~ lots of possibilities and great tutorial and fun! ~thanks, namaste, Carol (Share the Creative Journey) Happy CED ^_^

HI Lori,
Very pretty!!! I use to do that stuff all the time but after a couple of bad falls I don’t do that any more and it is not b/c I can’t it is b/c I am getting old and would rather have friend to talk with now!!

Hi Fern…I think talking with friends is much more fun and a lot less messy than crafts. Glad you enjoyed this little piece of button art.
I love these buttons and the art you created with them. So original… I go to a fabric store that sells oodles of buttons out of a huge bin. Maybe I’ll find some there to make art with!
I love how connections are made via Art Everyday Month!
This is an awesome little how to… I have a big jar of buttons somewhere and I am thinking my daughter and I can have a great time doing these… thanks for the share… xx
I made a Christmas button tree last year and cross-stitched “Happy Holidays” then framed it with scrapbook paper as a backing. Your little ones would make great stocking stuffers for friends. Hope your day is great. Tammy
The button tree is really cute!!
