This post will be a quickie...the whole day just got away from me!
One thing I've seen on Pinterest, etc. is those cute little button trees. I bought a LARGE amount of white buttons at a rummage sale recently. All the shank buttons and nice older buttons had been picked out but there were SO MANY that I just had to get them. Wanted to try one of these little trees. Plus I think I have a few more monogram pillows like this in me. Here's the tree that I made last week.
I should use it for a 'guess how many' contest. I'd never have thought I used so many buttons, but the pins came on a wheel of 40 each and I used 5 1/2 wheels. Yep, 220 buttons and pins on a little ol' 5.5" tree. AND it took a solid two hours to make! Now THAT'S funny.
This can definitely be called "one of a kind" because I won't be making another. Guess we know why you never see button trees for sale. :-P
Dang, I won't be making any of those either. One of a kind indeed.
