Pinterest strikes again!! Saw a button tree idea on there and had to try it. My main problem is that I have been unable to find the right pins I want to use, so I bought ones at The Evil Empire that are pretty, but really too large.
I first painted the styrafoam cone blue, then applied a coat of multi-coloured glitter paint over the blue.
Then started adding the buttons. It was a bit like a jigsaw puzzle to make them fit right.
Here's the finished product. I have one more cone left and I'm hoping to find the right pins before I do another one, although I do like how colourful this one is.
The top part is temporary for now. I didn't get the little styrafoam balls that the Pinterest craft showed as the topper.
I think it still turned out cute JoJo. I've got this idea saved in my favorites for my girls club.

ReplyDeleteHow do you fit all your artistic creations into your house? And how do you protect them from doggie tails?
