DIY Christmas Button Wreath

Category: DIY / Patterns

So the other day I found my jar of festively coloured buttons, and decided to put some Christmas carols on, and create some ornaments… In all, it made for a very enjoyable afternoon!
I love that as I’m sitting here typing this blogpost, I can see the button wreath just out of the corner of my eye, as it adds some quirky charm to our Christmas tree.

What You’ll Need

Handful Of Red Buttons
Glue Gun
Cardboard Donut {3.5 inches x 3.5 inches}
Red Paint & Paintbrush
Piece of Ribbon {19 inches in length}

~ Tutorial ~

Step 1~ Start of by heating up your glue gun. Once it’s warm, place small dots of hot glue all around your cardboard donut. Now place your red buttons onto the hot glue dots. {Note: Continue layering your red buttons, until you can’t see anymore cardboard.}
Step 2~ Once all the glues dried, turn your wreath upside down. Then taking your paint, paint the entire back of the wreath red. This will help give the wreath a more finished look.
{Note: You might need to paint more than 1 coat to properly cover the back.}

Step 3~ Once the paints dried, heat your glue gun back up. Fold your piece of ribbon in half, then glue it to the back of your wreath right in the middle, towards the top.
Then taking both ends of your ribbon, tie them together to create a little bow.

Hope you all enjoyed this quick Christmas-y tutorial!

If you did create this, please post a photo of your creation onto my Facebook Page.
I’d love to see it!
Have a lovely day crafting,

    • How about making it double sided and glue buttons on the back as well? Then it looks good from all directions on the tree x

  9. I have very large jar of buttons, from my daughter. I am 78 yrs. old and sewing for our family.
    That explains a lot of buttons over the years. I love the wreath, so next Christmas I will

  11. So simple and cute. Can’t wait to make a few. I might turn it into a heart for Valentines Day.
    Or, or, or maybe a Shamrock for St. Patrick’s Day.
    The ideas are endless!

  13. Your site has too many adds. Terribly annoying and they cover your directions without a way to close them.
