Adorable Christmas Tree Ornaments - Made from Buttons


Hello. And Welcome. I am so glad you are here. I hope you like today's project. 

 My six year old granddaughter and I enjoyed creating our very own unique ornaments for the Christmas tree.

 We actually have another ornament to share sometime within the next couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to sharing that.

Button Christmas Tree Ornaments

Christmas Tree Ornament made from Buttons

I had a bit of stretchy cord that's used to string beaded necklaces or bracelets so we used it to make our tree ornaments.

 Ornament made from buttonsI decided to make my ornaments look like pine trees. I alternated dark green and light green buttons to add a bit of visual interest. I also added two small dark green buttons to the bottom. I hope they look like the tree trunk.

 Ornament made from ButtonsMy granddaughter wanted to make something unique. (We love reading Fancy Nancy who is very unique) 

 Faith's green buttons aren't in any particular order - free form. She found a shiny red bead and added it to the top. I really like how it turned out. How about you?

 I love the curly cue ornament hangers that I found at the dollar store. Aren't they pretty?

    Very pretty. We've made some candy canes and snowmen using buttons in the same way.

      My granddaughter had fun making her ornament. I did too. It reminded me of my Mom's button collection and how I loved spending hours playing with them when I was a child.

45+ T-Shirt Refashion Tutorials

Hi, so happy you decided to drop by. Okay, no small talk. Let's get right to the round up. It was a lot of work but I hope you think it was worth it. I tried to choose a variety of sew and no sew projects. Plus there is something for the whole family - sorry, except your hubbies. No offence guys. There just isn't anything out there. Back to the round up. Wondering why I wrote 45+ tutorials?  You probably already know. I didn't. Why would someone write a number then plus. Don't they know how many links they included? I think I finally figured it out. Light bulb! The plus sign is for those blogs that have several t-shirt refashions on their site. Is that right? Oh well that's my guess. Now back to the round up. Sorry one more thing. The links to the original blogs are all listed at the end of the round up. 45+ T-shirt Refashion Tutorials Links to the projects. How To Make a Fashion T-Sh

DIY Wind Chimes - Recycle Spoons

Image
Hi there. So glad you decided to stop by and check out my DIY wind chimes made from recycled spoons. I had to make something to meet the May Craft Challenge. And I was lucky enough to get all the supplies for under two dollars. Score! Bummer I din't finish it on time. My supplies include six spoons, fishing line, an old candle holder and a clip I had hiding in my stash of goodies. Since I don't have a drill or anything to make holes in the spoons to thread the fishing line through, I had to find a different way to hang my spoons.  If you look at the picture to the left, you can see the spoons are wrapped and tied with the fishing line. I decided to use the candle holder upside down. It just seemed to look better. I tied the spoons to the candle holder - the wind chime base. Then tied the line around the candle holder feet and finally pulled them altogether and tied a knot. If you liked this post, pleas
