Below is the inspiration picture:
Next I needed something to attach the buttons with. For that I needed something clear and sticky. I found this clear drying tacky glue which is perfect! It does take a little time to dry but is clear and the final hold is fabulous!
Next, I sorted the buttons out by color. Green to blue. That way I could just work my way across as I added them on the bulb.
Once sorted it's time to glue! I started at the bottom and worked my way up the bulb. I used green at the bottom: green = grass. And I used blue at the top: blue = sky. Simple but the affect I wanted to achieve.
Once done putting the buttons on, I hung to dry. I wanted it to dry completely before putting on the tree stickies (approximately a couple hours). The stickies were very easy to use, but once you placed them the stuck and if it wasn's quite dry it will peel the buttons off with it if you need to move the placement.
The final step, I added a bow to finish off the top. I found some clearance blue and white ribbon while shopping and just tied a bow through the top near where the hook goes.
And Whala!
Very easy and very in expensive to make! Try it as a last minute gift this Xmas or for a new gift next year!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
