My button tree

I know that it is already after Christmas, but I did not have a quiet moment to show you my button tree. So here it is:
All the best for all of you for the 2009!
Be happy, be creative, love and be loved!
xoxo,
Joanna (Cwasia)

That is so pretty! Could you give a tutorial on it? I am guessing you used a styrofoam cone underneath and pins and beads to attach the buttons. I love it. Could be done in green too.

It's beautiful! Very striking.

I just took apart a button tree that I did a couple years back but never liked. I've come to the conclusion that they look best with just one color of button all over. Mine was pink and aqua and it just looked like a big ol' mess! Monochromatic is best.

~*Jenn*~ - thank you :*

Neabear - thank you :*
A tutorial? Hmmm... it's quite simple: I used green florist's foam, then white cotton ribbon to cover the green, and then pins and beads to attach the buttons, starting from the bigger ones, then smaller and smaller....and that's it :)

Knitty - :*
I had a ot of white buttons, and I wanted White Christmas, so white was the colour of my choice :). Other colours would look great also, but I didn't have enough buttons.

Your white tree is so beautiful! What a wonderful idea. And not only for Christmas. Think of how pretty a button tree with pink, purple, red or heart-shaped buttons would look for Valentine's Day ... or bunny and such shaped buttons for Easter. Oh the possibities are almost endless. You've gotten my creative juices flowing. Thanks so much for sharing!

Beautiful! And even better, I have a styrofoam tree in the garage! Wish me luck in trying this out!

This is simple and elegant. I think what really ties it together well is the fact that each button set is finished off with the same type of bead. Ingenius!
