DIY Love: Button Tree

My love of buttons comes from visiting my grandmother when I was a little girl. She had jars and jars of colorful buttons, all shapes and sizes, from vintage to new. She was a wonderful seamstress and like most granddaughters, I regret not learning all I could from her. But I digress. I came across this darling do it yourself button tree from Makin Projiks and thought "what a great way to get those buttons out of the jar"! A little time consuming, but easy peasy and oh so pretty. I really like the combination of pastels as shown here. If you found enough buttons (yards sales are gold mines for them), these trees would make great wedding centerpieces, or decoration at the guest book and/or cake table.

Dollar Store Diva

These bottles are the Eliza Doolittle of vases. As my future mother in law says, if you take something out of its environment, you can make it look like a million bucks. If you have a Dollar Tree in your area, run out and buy up every single one of these sweet vintage looking bottles.



Seriously, a dollar each. A good start to an Anthropologie-esque reception table for sure.
