Button Wreath Ornament

Method:

Cut a length of wire to the size you would like your ornament to be, leaving one extra inch of length for handling.  Using a circular shaped object, form the wire into a circle – do no connect the ends.

Separate the buttons into matching sizes.  Thread buttons onto the wire circle in pairs or the same size.  Remember the buttons you put on first will end up being the top of your wreath later.  Alternate button pair sizes to give the wreath some pretty variation.  I kept my buttons symmetrical as I moved around the wire, but that’s your call to do the same.

Once the wire has been threaded all the way around with buttons, use your pliers to twist the wire ends together.  Clip off any excess wire.  Your wreath will look like the one below.  Use your hands to reform the circle as needed once you tie off the wire.

 

Tie the red ribbon into a pretty bow to complete your wreath!
