Creating Easy Home Decor Using Buttons and STYROFOAM

Howdy all! I am so sorry to keep you waiting all month for my home decor project! I have had a SUPER busy summer and this month just was the busiest of them all. But tonight, JUST BEFORE JULY IS OVER I have a fun home decor idea for you that is quick, easy and can be easily customized to fit your home’s Christmas decor! So let’s get busy!!! And hey, now’s a great time to start working on holiday decor because it’s best to be prepared now and now hurried later, right? So HAPPY CHRISTMAS IN JULY Y’ALL!!!!
Supplies Needed: STYROFOAM Cone, Two Tones of Butt ons, Acrylic Paint and Paint Brush, Glitter, Hot Glue, wood circle for trunk or other trunk material.

 

Begin by placing a pool of paint onto a piece of scrap paper as a palette for easy clean up.

 

Apply a full coverage layer of paint to entire surface of cone.

 

While the paint is still wet, liberally cover surface with glitter.

 

Find a button the same size as the top of the cone.

 

Build a stack of buttons in graduating size and hot glue together to be a "tree topper".

 

Once the paint has fully dried, hot glue the topper to the top of the cone.

 

Randomly glue buttons all along the outside of the cone in various sizes and shades of green.

 

Glue a line of large Ivory buttons along the bottom edge.

 

Hot glue the piece of cut tree limb to bottom as a tree trunk.

 

Ahhh your brand new hip and happening home decor project ready for the mantle, table top or anywhere else in your home!
