Christmas Craft – Cute As A Button Ornament

Christmas Craft – Cute As A Button Ornament is adorable!  I love Christmas Crafts that include my son’s picture. When he brought a gift to me from school this year I was thrilled to see this “Cute As A Button Ornament”. So simple yet so crafty. I had to share it with you! I love that his teacher took time from her busy school schedule to let the kids have the chance to make a gift for their parents. It made him feel so special to be able give me this gift. Thanks Mrs. Hughes. You are the BEST!

Supplies:

Wide Popsicle Sticks (4)
Assortment of Buttons
Black Sharpie Marker
Green and Brown Tempera Paint
White Paper
Small Picture
Red Ribbon

To make this Cute As A Button Ornament paint 3 of the Popsicle sticks green and one brown. Allow to dry. Glue the sticks together to create a “tree”. Glue picture to the white paper and attach to the back of the tree. Add 1 brown stick to be the tree stump. Glue Buttons to the tree and attach a ribbon tied as a bow to the top and ribbon to hang ornament on the tree.  Finally with a black Sharpie marker add “Cute As A Button!”.  I would also add the year to the bottom under the picture or the back of the ornament.  This is a treasured keepsake for sure and frugal craft project for the kids or class party.
