Here is Jana @ Lola...Again bringing you an ornament that is cute as a button for our Grand Finale. Enjoy everyone and have a wonderful Holiday!



I am a total Christmas junkie!

We start decorating our house before Thanksgiving so
that we can enjoy the season longer.

I am so
excited to share one of my ornaments with you today. It is very quick
and easy to make!


The Button Wreath




You will need-

Craft Glue (I used jewel glue), or a hot glue
gun,

Ribbon for the hanger,
and Buttons!




Step one- Trace a circle on some waxed paper.


Step 2- lay your bottom layer for the wreath.

Step 3- Start your second layer. Overlap the
two of your bottom layer buttons until all of the spaces are
covered.....



......like this.



Step 4- Keep layering buttons!


(don't worry! The glue dries clear!)

Step 5- Make another one....and another....


Step 6- If you used craft glue, let it dry!

Step 7- Tie it up with ribbon.




...and hang on the tree!!!



These are also great to tie onto the top of your packages!

Have a fantastic Christmas Season everyone!

Jana Nielson aka
Lola

    My favorite ornament is definitely the paper ball one with the book pages and the green star that Bridget from Everyday Chaos made. A very close second is the ribbon ball!
