Three More Button Tree Ornaments

As I had the buttons out yesterday to make the button ornament tags, I decided to make some more button tree hanging ornaments using different coloured buttons.

 

I changed the trunk style, instead of using brown buttons, I used:

 

1.  a small wooden spool

 

 

2.  a gold jingle bell

 

 

3.  a small silver liberty bell

 

 

This next photo shows the liberty bell base better

 

 

Each tree ended up a different size, and this just depends on the number of buttons you use - I really like the variety. 

 

The only difficulty is finding the right piece to place on top of the tree, the star beads work well although I would have like to have had something different on each.  I had many star and angel buttons, but I could not attach them to the top securely.  I had different coloured stars, so that ensured they are a little different from each other.

 

I have to warn you once you start making these little button trees, they are addicting, I loved making them

 

Because I had not set up a tree, I was having a problem trying to take photos of my new ornaments, Today I grabbed a small branch from the yard, and put it in a rusty bucket - just so that I can take these photos ... what do you think?  Nice and rustic!

 

 

I hope you have started making your Christmas tree decorations for this year?
