Inspired by this image and Naomi's most excellent Christmas Manifesto, I raided my button jar and made a Christmas tree above our new little table. It is green (I used buttons and blu-tack; both of which are eminently re-useable post-Christmas), pretty and just a little bit different. The Pal joked that I have "attention surplus disorder" and he's probably right. Ahem, I also did it at 6am one morning, after having a semi-dream (those half-awake, half-asleep ones) about buttons.I love it. And The Pal loves it, too.
There are lots of alternative Christmas trees around this year: have a look here for some more ideas.
Love this! And how happy does the tree look above the Singer table? (Can a button tree look happy? I says yes!)
ReplyDeleteMarvellous! xxx
ReplyDeleteI love this. I am very impressed with your precision and patience.
ReplyDeleteGreat button collection Kate! Am a fan.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I'm thinking this might be a good seasonal outing for my mother of pearl button collection? x x x
ReplyDeleteThe last photo, glancing across the button tree, is particularly amazing. I love the idea, and your attention surplus disorder!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea. Thank you for sharing! Want to let you know the link to alternative Christmas tree ideas is not working. Thanks again for sharing your button tree! ~~Rhonda
