As some of you may know, our theme in tot school is fall this week. While browsing Pinterest for some good ideas I remembered a felt button tree that I had pinned awhile ago. It was perfect for this week, so I decided to make my own and share it with all of you.
You'll need:
Brown, red, orange, and green felt, assorted buttons, thread and scissors.
To Make:
Draw a bare tree on a sheet of paper {or in my case make your husband do it}. Cut it out.
Tape the paper template to a brown sheet of felt. Cut out the felt. Remove the template and you should have one felt tree.
Lay the tree out and arrange the buttons all over the tree. Try to vary the buttons by size, shape, and color to add interest and varying levels of difficulty.
Sew the buttons into place.
Take some additional colored felt and cut out leaf shapes. I used a template to make them, but if you're really good you could free hand it.
Then, fold the felt leaf in half, and use scissors to make a button hole slit.
