Here is my button tree creation that I finished up last night. I saw the idea in a magazine a while ago and decided to try it out. It is just a styrofoam cone that you find in the craft/floral department at craft stores or Wal Mart (the green kind are the best). Then you need straight pins from the sewing department and a bunch of buttons (probably around 600ish varying upon what size you make)! I got my buttons from Archivers which is a scarpbook store. Most scrapbook stores sell bags of buttons. I had so much fun working on this little guy. It was very theraputic and we all know I need a little therapy once in a while...
So if you are looking for something fun to do when it is so stinkin' cold outside (-9 degrees here in The Springs this morning...BRRRRR) try this! It very easy and goes pretty fast!
P.S. The lighting is pooptastic in these pictures and they are super grainy, maybe if I knew how to work the camera I could fix that but since I don't...

Such a cute idea Jenny. That is adorable. I hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas. It sounds like you will be in California visiting your family. It would be so nice to get out of this cold right about now. Have a wonderful trip!
Ok....who are you and what did you do with my daughter? Jenny this is so cute! I get excited every time I see another great project you have completed. You are very creative and I love seeing this side of you develop. We may have to work on something like this at the beach...we are going to be very busy at the beach. Only 6 more days! Can't wait to see you guys.
Oh wow, i love very cute!
That takes a lot of skill and patience. Nice job! Looks great. Good luck surviving the cold. There's no way I could live there with it being that cold :)
This is really Cute Jenny!! You are amazing!!
So cute! I love it!
That is SUCH a cute little tree! I am definitely going to make one of those!
You are too creative for your own good. I need to just come spend a month with you and hope that some creativity rubs off on me.
That is super cute. Good job. Man all of these blogs just make me want to do all of this cool stuff.

I LOVE buttons! Such a cute idea! I think I might just copy it! How long did it take you? Did you start on the bottom and work up or go around??? LOVE IT!!!
I would say it took about 3 hours total. I started at the top and just worked down. You should try it!
That is so cute! I never realized you were so crafty! I might have to seal that idea!
Jen-- that is so cute! I want to make one! I need to show that to my Mom and maybe we'll do a cool project one day! (P.S....how did you place the buttons so perfectly? You are just good at that kind of stuff.)
