Joey and I have been doing a few holiday crafts in preparation for Christmas. Mostly I have been trying to read Thanksgiving books, we are doing a thankful chain and in our nightly prayers trying to list the things we are thankful for that day. I really don't like to do too many Christmas things now because I love Thanksgiving and it gets the shaft! I feel like I need to do my part to make it special. However last week Joey and I did a few little crafts and I started working on some homemade Christmas gifts. This is a really simple little button wreath. I cut a wreath shape out of an old cereal box then let Joey paint it white, then let him go to town with glue and buttons. When he was done I put a little glue on the spots that were loose and hung a ribbon on it. I think they would be cute as gift toppers.

ReplyDeleteWhat a simple yet cute idea! That's something Madalyn would love!
ReplyDeleteAny suggestions on where to get lots of buttons for cheap? I'd love to make some of these, but have always found buttons (especially larger ones) to be really expensive!
