Fun Kids Craft

Colourful Button Trees

What you need:

Card or canvas

Selection of colourful buttons

PVA glue

Glue spreader

Brown paint

Paintbrush

Step 1: Paint the trunk and branches

 Take a piece of thick card or a stretched canvas. These pictures are so pretty that they look really nice on canvas.

You can buy them cheaply and easily from craft shops.

Paint the tree trunk and a few branches, using brown paint.

Step 2: Start gluing on buttons

Start gluing on buttons, starting with the largest in your selection.

Step 3: Build up the buttons

Carry on sticking on buttons, overlapping them as you work and using different colours and sizes.

Carry on until you have a beautiful button tree.

Please remember: If you are doing this craft with very young children always supervise them carefully. Buttons are very small and, if swallowed, could prevent a choking risk.
