12 Days of Christmas Crafts: Button Garland

12 Days of Christmas Crafts continues with this knockoff button garland.

The original is actual Capiz Shell Garland from Ballard Design:

You can purchase this here

I'm all about making the alternative is it's cheap and easy.  This project cost me less than $1!
I purchased two ivory felt sheets from Jo-Ann Fabrics and traced circles on it using a sippy cup and a yellow marker.

Cut them out

Used a hole punch to add button like holes.  My hole punch wouldn't completely detach them so I trimmed them off with scissors.

I strung them on some twine I had, but you could use ribbon, etc.  I used them on a 4' tree in our bedroom along with some raw burlap just tied sporadically.

It's simple and very DIY.  More easy Christmas crafts to come!
