Candy Cane Button Tree
Say hello to the candy cane-themed button tree craft. A button tree is an enchanting, easy-to-make craft that’s perfect for the holiday season. It’s kid-friendly and looks amazing when it's done. Plus, it provides a great opportunity to increase your creativity and let your imagination run wild! So, get ready to deck your halls with these adorable handcrafted button trees!
What You Will Need
- Red and white buttons
- Styrofoam cone
- Mini pom pom fringe in red and white
- Shear red ribbon not shown below
- Hot glue and glue gun
Instructions
- Start by wrapping that mini pom pom fringe around your cone, as shown below. Hold in place with pins. Adjust until you get the spacing where it looks right. Remove pins and add hot glue to hold them into place.
- Wherever you want a "red" stripe, put the red ribbon as shown below and hold it in place with pins. This will help make sure that the white cone does not show through on your red stripes.
- You can start using hot glue to add buttons to each stripe. Adding the red buttons on top of that shear ribbon will hold everything down.
- Though, no need to glue the ribbon separately in this case. Just remove those straight pins from the red ribbon as you work your way up the cone.
- Mix and match the buttons as shown below to fill in each stripe!
- Make a bow for the top with some additional red ribbon and hot glue into place for the finishing touch.
Notes
You can blow dry your entire tree with the blow dryer on hot to remove any hot glue strings.
