Button Flowers

For this craft you will need:

• Buttons
• Cardstock paper
• Dowel Rods (Cookie/lollipop sticks work too)
• Hot glue and glue gun, or craft glue
• Ribbon or embroidery thread

Directions:

1. Glue the start of the ribbon to the bottom of the dowel rod and wrap around. Glue again at the top and trim off excess ribbon.
2. Let dry.
3. Stack the buttons together and tie together with yarn or embroidery thread. (My son got frustrated trying to thread the embroidery thread through the buttons, so I ended up gluing the buttons together.)
4. Glue or tie onto Dowel rod.
5. I glued our flowers to foam sheets to make cards.

Easy Option:

1. Glue the start of the ribbon to the bottom of the dowel rod and wrap around. Glue again at the top and trim off excess ribbon.
