The Button Tree

Oh buttons. Who doesn't LOVE buttons! Since I decided to take on the infamous button tree of Pinterest past, I ended up with plenty of colors and sizes before this one simple tree was done. I decided to do just one canvas with a tree on it. After painting the background, then the tree, and then gluing multi-layers of buttons on as the leaves as seen below, I decided that just one canvas was not enough. So...

I added 3 more canvases to the mix. I extended my tree trunk and limbs and decided that I wanted a 4 piece art work to flank on the opposite side of my clock canvases. This is what happened...

Then, I hung it on the wall opposite the clock canvases and voila :) I have my kitchenette finished!

I love doing art work like this! It was a lot of fun gathering the colors and textures of buttons. I suggest this as a great older age girl project for a sleep over or gathering, like a church youth group!

Happy crafting :)
