Make holiday trees whimsy and bright with buttons and Styrofoam cones

By Admin1 on December 3, 2012 in Christmas, Holidays

I love to make holiday trees with buttons and Styrofoam cones. It’s such an easy project and the possibilities are endless! This year I created some merry and bright trees using brightly colored felt and buttons (and a little glitter of course!) You can make the trees in any color combination, to coordinate with your decor.

Directions to make holiday trees:

Supplies to make holiday trees:

Styrofoam cone
Felt
Craft glue
Buttons (I used Citrus Splash, my absolute FAVORITE button colors by Buttons Galore!)
Small stick pins
Pre-cut, adhesive backed, felt letters
Pom Pom trim
Styrofoam star
Glitter -Clearsnap Fairy Dust Glitter in Sugar Shimmer
Wood skewer

Instructions

Glue felt to Styrofoam cone. Set aside to dry.
Glue felt around the edge of the Styrofoam star.
Glue buttons onto the front surface of the star.
Squeeze glue into spaces around buttons and sprinkle glitter all over the star. Shake off excess.
Using felt letters, spell out your message on the cone tree vertically.
Using stick pins, attach buttons all over the cone tree.
Glue pom pom trim around the bottom of the cone tree.
Stick one end of wood skewer into the base of your button and glittered star. Stick the star onto the top of the tree.
