Button Wreath

I made this little button wreath for my craft room. It is very easy to make and a good way to use up extra buttons. I glued the buttons and little gold roping onto a mini CD, covered the back with a piece of black felt but you could also cover the CD with some pretty cloth or just cut a piece of card stock the same size to cover it. On this one I covered the center with a big button that I think is pretty and gives it a different look.

Button Pins

Most of us have extra buttons in a container somewhere. Why not make something with some of them? I made some cute little "pig pins" with a few of mine.



Basically, you need ribbon, buttons, eyes, a pin back, and some glue. I used E6000 glue.



I found instructions here at this website.
