I think I need to wait to make these though. I have tissue paper and pin trees to make from last year. And maybe a button tree too, I haven't decided. But this won't stop me from buying the stuff for them, lol!

I know Joann's has dowels for the tree trunk, felt, buttons, ribbons, paint for the pots, etc. Just not sure on the small pots.

Seriously, I stroke an imaginary ZZTop beard when I'm thinking.... I think I've gotten an imaginary trim though because it used to be as far as my arm could reach and now it's just a couple inches. Stupid imaginary wild-west barber with the curly mustache. How jealous I am of his curly little tendrils... and that spirally thing outside his shop...

Love, if you can sew a button, you can make these trees. Just glue the felt together instead of sewing it

Side note! If you have ugly buttons, just use some acrylic paint and glitter on them. No need to buy buttons for this! The kids will LOVE that!

I have two big bags of autumn leaves buttons I've never touched. this would be PERFECT. Is there anything more online about how to make them, or any tips? Or do I actually have to purchase the mag for $18.99?
I'm soooo spoiled by digi tutorials!! hahah... Seriously, I wanna make these. Is it just a dowling stuck up two pieces of felt? How is the dowling secured in the buckets? I'm really that dumb. *LOL* |

Thanks Christine! I knew it had a snazzier name than "green foamy junk"

I knew what you meant Annie
You could also use marbles or rocks to hold it in place. The dowel doesn't need to be that long, just long enough to stick out of hte pot, and a little ways into the felt tree. The following is how I would do it: paint pots cut 2 triangles out of desired felt color sew or glue on buttons and bows place felt together, outsides facing in, sew together (or if gluing, then just glue together, right sides out) after sewing, turn insides out, so right sides are outside stuff with batting or whatever you have on hand (if you use glue, let the glue dry completely) shove stick into tree stick into pot done

good ideas col, that's about how I would do it... except I would just sew right on the outside and not do any turning inside out.
|
#48

|
||||
Yup you could do that too!

Wheew! I know that my local Dollarama has floraist foam (i.e. green foamy junk) at least that's what we call it up here in Canada. And they have pots and little tin pails gallore there. THAT is what I'm doing. The only thing I'll need to find is the dowling. Hmmm!
