Fall has definitely arrived. The temperatures are finally cooling off. It’s getting dark earlier and earlier. The leaves are changing colors and falling to create a colorful blanket over the ground. With the arrival of fall always comes great opportunities to decorate your home in the warm rich colors of the season. If your anything like me though you want to be able to decorate on a budget and your kids want to help. That’s what makes this DIY fall button tree perfect! It’s inexpensive, your kids can do it and each one will be completely different.
One of the really great things about this craft project is that it can easily be made with items that many of us already have on hand at home. That makes this a great project for the kids to do on a day off school or a rainy afternoon.
Materials
Template
8″ x 10″ picture frame
Hot glue
Buttons in various sizes and colors – I use Favorite Findings Buttons
Instructions
Using your printer, print out the template on card stock and cut to 8″ x 10″.
Place your printed and cut template on a flat, protected surface.
Pick out and arrange the buttons to your liking. Use as many or as few as you like. You can even layer the buttons on each other.
Using a hot glue gun, glue buttons onto the tree template.
When finished, take apart your frame and place the tree in front of the glass. Put the frame back together and you’re all set to enjoy!
This is a very pretty fall decorating idea and can easily be done in under 30 minutes. A grouping of them on the wall each with different buttons and button patterns would be beautiful.
