Thanks so much for the tutorial! Am going to use up my button stash to make ornaments to add to wrapping I am doing at the mall to raise money for our Food Bank.
Oh, this warms my heart that my little tutorial will go toward your efforts to serve your community. How wonderful! Thank you for letting me know! ❤️❤️
Best video I’ve found on these, thank you.
You're very welcome! They're really so easy and fun to customize. Enjoy yourself!!
Ditto on all of these wonderful comments!!!!!!!
Thanks so much, Marian!
Omg it came out so cute, I never would have thought to use buttons. :) Very creative idea.
Aw, thanks! As I said, I'm a big hoarder of buttons. I don't know why, but they're just one of those things that I can barely walk away from at a thrift store. I've gotten better about it since my collection is so large now. Ha. Thanks for watching.
Love these!
Thank you for supporting our learning. They are super cute. Your voice is so gentle and enthusiastic too. 🙌 🇬🇧
Oh, you are too sweet. Thank YOU for your support. If you don't mind replying, I'd love to know how you found my video. I've had a huge influx of watches for this one in the last two days and can't seem to pinpoint the source of it. Thanks so very much!
Super cute! Both grandmas going to help our two grand daughters make these for their mom for Christmas
Oh, that tickles me to no end. I hope y'all have fun with it. Yay!!
What a cute idea and what a GREAT tutorial! THANK YOU!! Now to find the star bead/buttons!
Aw, thank you so much!! Good luck on the hunt. I do have a link in the video description of some star beads that are a little bit larger than mine, but should still work okay. Let me know if you have any questions. Merry Christmas!
I have a button obsession as well! I can’t wait to do some of these ornaments
It's easy to get hooked on buttons! Have fun with these and don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions!
SO COOL!!!
Thanks! :D
Thanks, you make it look so easy, think I can make them, just the wire part I might get wrong at the ends, thanks for your tutorial 😊
If making the loop seems troublesome, you might want to just twist the wire then form it into its own hook for hanging! But, the original way is pretty easy too once you go for it. Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions at all! Thanks so much for watching, Shirley!
Absolutely adorable 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
I'm a little taken with them myself. Thanks!
Been looking at these button trees and love yours the best. Thank you for all the tips, I'm getting ready to make ❣❣❣
Yay! Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions at all. I'm always happy to help.
Fantastic tutorial! Making these today! Thank you so much❤
Oh yay! Thank YOU so much. Let me know if you have ANY questions.
Love this, Hope!
That's too funny. I hope this was easy to follow for you. Let me know if you have any questions! Merry Christmas!!!
So cute! What a fun little craft! 🎄
Thanks, so much, Paige! It's so easy to whip up a whole forest of these. Enjoy!
Wow Hope, those are lovely and so easy to make. Thank you for sharing. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Kaylin, They really are SO EASY! It felt a little shameful making a video of how to create them, but I thought that they were just too cute not to share. I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas too!
@@CraftyHope is 6mm a good size for the star topper?
Those are so adorable ❤ thank you for sharing ! ❤
Aw, thank you! I'm glad you like them. 😃
Nice job! Thanks!
Oh, I'm so glad you like this. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
So pretty and great tutorial
Thank you! It's such a simple project, I had to share. Enjoy!!
Love them
Thanks, I do too! I have a bunch of them for the mini tree I use when we don't get a real one.
Idee minunata!
Thanks so much!!
Super adorable
Thanks so much, Denise!
So cute!
Thanks! I'm smitten with them myself. (And, I just saw more of those star beads at the Dollar Tree the other day!!)
Super cute idea 🤗
Thanks! I love me some buttons, and these are just a perfect way to use them. I'm so glad you like the idea. :)
Love these! What type of hook do you use after its done?
Thanks so much! It all depends on what I'm using it for. They are great as small Tree Ornaments which just need a regular ornament hanger. But, I've also put ear wires on them to turn them into earrings. And, you can just slide a ribbon through the hole in the top too for either an ornament or as a necklace. It's really all up to you!
What size are the star beads, please? Would 12-15mm work? If so, where to find these?
Thanks so much. Can't wait to do this with my crafty ladies church group!

Dee, The star beads I used just came from Dollar Tree and are in the 10mm range. I've linked some in the description box on Amazon, but they're only 7mm - they're just the closest thing I could find on Amazon. And, the size of the star just depends on the buttons you use. I personally just used what I had on hand. Much like a real Christmas Tree, the size of the star all depends on the tree you have. And, sometimes your star might be too big because you got a smaller tree this year than last year. With that said, 12mm beads might work great and make a bigger statement. It's all personal preference. I say go for it!
My tree is white... it would be, I love the colors The white would get lost lol
Oh, with a white tree, I could see doing a whole plethora of bright, fun colors of these. I'm thinking hot pink, aqua blue, lime green, plum...Have fun with it!!
@CraftyHope that does sound like alot of fun! I love mixing hot colors too
Yay! Enjoy!!

I hope I saw the tree buttons on Facebook and I thought I'd check out how to make them and you are video popped up. What I want to know is do you have to use wire can you use fishing line? Because I have a lot of that
Hey, I'm so glad you found me. As for using the fishing line, I have to admit that it's not something I've used for much crafting. If you use crimp beads to secure it, I think it would work. But, I feel much safer using the wire personally, as it's a material I work with often. I'm sorry I can't help more.WIshing you the best!
do you think to make it shiny and glittery you could use mod podge and sprinkle glitter on the buttons. do you think it would work. thanks!
Hmm, it would be worth a shot, especially if they're not going to be handled much. You could also try glitter glue and/or Stickles (brand name). I would personally just try one or two to see how it works out before I did a whole batch of them though. I'd love to hear how it works out for you! Great idea and good luck!
Forgot to mention that I'm going to run a cord thru the wire loop and make it a necklace.
That's a great use for them!
Where to get the little toppers?
The stars? The ones I used were purchased at Dollar Tree, but I have a link in the description box to some similar ones on Amazon. I'm glad you like these!
How long ago did you purchase the star beads
It's been a little while. However, I did see some a few months ago in one of my local Dollar Trees. It's just one of those things you have to keep your eyes out for. Good luck and thanks for watching!!
Do you have the link to your video to make the loop at the top of the ornament?
Absolutely, here's my tutorial for making a Wrapped Loop: ruclips.net/video/0Q1oDu5SIME/видео.htmlsi=yXA7avo4p4U2ESUc
And, if you have ANY questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
How big are the star tops? Is 6 mm good?
Mine are in the 10-11mm range. Six might be small, but there's no reason you can't try it and see. You might like them better at that size. I just used what I had on hand and encourage you to so the same!
@@CraftyHope the link you gave us is 7mm size
Yeah - they were the closest thing I could find on Amazon to what I used. The ones I actually used are from the Dollar Tree. Sorry about that. @@msgoodspeller
Hi there! I love the way these look and will be making them this year. I was just wondering, do you have an Amazon alternative to those stars for the top?
Hi Terry! I'm so happy you like these little button trees. Thanks for your watch and for the great question. I really should probably add a few links to my products so thanks for that reminder. As for the star beads, I found these (amzn.to/2GkvvEa) that are a metal alloy and do come in several colors like the plastic ones I used. I hope it helps! Thanks again!!
