Teacher’s Gifts: Button Ornament Kit

By Admin1 on December 16, 2013 in Christmas, Holidays

It’s that time of year again. Time to scramble for gift ideas to give your children’s teachers, not to mention your hairdresser. Here’s a super quick and easy idea, give them a button ornament kit!

Button ornaments are super easy to make. Here’s how:

Supplies

2″ Styrofoam ball
Buttons-get a seasonal grab bag to make it easy on yourself!
Stick pins with round heads
Ribbon

Instructions

Using a long needle, thread a piece of ribbon through the center of the foam ball. Knot one end and loop the other.
Place buttons onto foam ball using stick pins. The pins go through the button holes.
Make sure you layer the buttons a bit to avoid blank spots on the ornaments.

But we aren’t here for the ornaments, because who has the time this late in the game? What we need is to make is KITS to make the ornaments! Which is even easier!

Supplies

2″ Styrofoam ball
6 ounce glass, canning jar
Glue Dots
Buttons-Seasonal Grab Bag
Decorative Christmas button-Santa and Friends
Ribbon

Instructions:

Pour the buttons into the jar
Pop the foam ball into the top. You can use Glue Dots to hold it in place.
Thread a decorative button through the ribbon and wrap the ribbon around the jar.
Include instructions for making the ornament on a gift tag. Here’s one you can print out.
