"Cute as a Button" Christmas

As previously mentioned, buttons are awesome.  As previously promised, here is my house covered in them for the 2010 holiday season.

         First things first.  The Button Tree.

I made the buttons from circular pieces of wood and paint from Hobby Lobby.  Don't buy a pre-made bow.  Make one with a stapler and pretty ribbon.  The lights make it look like it's glowing!

I bought a slew of buttons grab bag style.  Using some handy dandy string, I made myself some fun homemade button garland.

I have a branch on my wall I seasonally decorate.  I made some button and music paper ornaments to keep the tradition alive.

 I cut out different shapes from music paper and gave them a antique yellow wash with thinned acrylic paint.
