Button trees

Welcome to Button Trees!

Come join us for a fun and creative activity where we will be making beautiful trees using colorful green buttons. It's a great way to get into the holiday spirit and unleash your inner artist!

These can be hung on a tree as a decoration or hung off your ears as a novelty jewellery item. Silver plated earring findings will be available on the day. You will likely manage three trees in the time given, for example: a pair for earrings and one decoration / three tree decorations.
