Christmas Tree with Vintage Buttons

My Mom has a GIANT collection of buttons! A lot of them are really cool vintage buttons. This year, we decided to make button Christmas trees.

We started with frames and painted them bright red. Then cut out scrapbook paper to use as the background. Place the buttons in the shape of the tree and the scrabble tiles for the base. They are so simple and cute!

I will be linking to these parties this week. Happy holidays!

Cute as a Button Ornament

Need another ornament on the tree? Don't we all! Here is one that is cute as a button:

To start, I bought an unfinished ornament half price at Hobby Lobby. You will also need some buttons!



I then ripped up some tissue paper and used Modge Podge to glue it onto the ornament.



You might need to use a couple layers of tissue so that the brown from the ornament doesn't show through. Then choose some buttons.



Begin to glue buttons on the ornament after the tissue is dry. I also switched out the string hanger from gold to jute.
