Button Wreath


It's day 3 of the ornament countdown... today we are making a button wreath.


I don't know about you but I have lots of buttons around my house.  I think they multiply when I'm not looking.


Here is what you will need... bead wire, a wire snips and some buttons.


String the buttons on the wire until you have a circle.  Mine is about 3 inches around.



 Add some ribbons at the top and you are done!

Next I made 2 little tags to go with the ornaments.  I used this sewing machine paper from Stampin' Up!
This is a fun one and soooooo cute.  It would be cute in all white too.  I hope you will consider becoming a follower so you don't miss a day of this ornament line up... I promise, they are all cute!



Have a great day!  xoxo  Jenni

    So cute! I have a box or vintage buttons from my grandmother that I have never really known what to do with them! So cute! I think I will place the ornaments as napkin rings then everyone can take one home!

    This is so cute! We are going to make this with my Mom's club group this week! Quick question...did you use a single strand of wire or double it to put a wire through both holes of each button? Thanks!

    Not only do I love the wreaths, I also like whatever it is they're sitting on. What is it and how do you make one?
