How to Make This Christmas Tree Craft Using Buttons
To begin with, I cut out a Christmas Tree shape from the green foam.
I then cut out a tree trunk from the brown foam material.
I then used the glue gun to glue the base of the tree to the trunk.
Now the tree is ready to start adding buttons.
Using the glue gun I placed glue on the button and then began sticking them to the Christmas Tree.
I chose to use green white and red buttons to go with my Christmas theme but you could you any buttons you like.
I think using different colours and different shapes and sizes can make this craft idea really effective.
You can buy buttons from lots of different places but I find buying packets of craft buttons more cost effective.
You then fill up the tree with buttons until it is completely covered.
This was a fun craft for me to make and I think it would be fun for kids or adults alike.
I really hope you like this craft idea. I’m hoping to make some more in the upcoming months as I have lots of ideas in my head.
Enjoy.
