Yes thats right I have been a busy bee today. Another replacement christmas card. This is my button tree wall hanging. I was inspired by a lovely lady on You Tube Jennings644 when she made a bling tree. Here is the link to Fi's art Bling Tree . I used a piece of chipboard, laid lace down in the outline of a christmas tree. I filled it completely with vintage buttons. I painted over it all with black. When dry I used metallic paints and then rub and buff. I made the pot using cut cocktail sticks. I then cut round the shape of the lace - Voila all finished. i did enjoy making this so you will probably see more of these on my blog lol.
Hugz and love
