button wreaths

you will need:

• 2 scalloped circle punches in different sizes
• small circle punch for the center, or i just used a knife/scissors
• glitter-mist
• buttons & thread/floss & needle
• adhesives (glue/double-sided tape)
• ribbon
• hole punch/scissors

all i did:

1. collected a few Christmas-themed papers/cardstock.  using your punches, cut 2 scalloped circles.
2. cut a circle in the center.
3. spray as much or as little glitter-mist on them…allowing them to dry for a few seconds, depending on how much you use.
4. thread your buttons however you like.  i like my knots to be on top.  it makes it less ‘bumpy’ when gluing them on.
5. adhere your two wreaths together.  (i used double-sided tape)
6. glue on your buttons.
7. punch a small hole for your ribbon.
8. i strung both ends of the ribbon through to the front of the wreath, so that a little bow could be tied.  you can make your ribbon as long as you want.  i wanted enough ribbon so that it could either be hung on the tree or more-than-likely, used as a gift tag.  (i did put a tiny dot of glue around the front of the hole, to help hold my bow in the position i wanted) 

that’s it!! 

it’s really easy.  you can make them as detailed as you want.  try different papers, buttons, ribbons, the combinations are endless!
