Playing around on Pinterest this evening I came across just the thing to make for my tree this year. Apparently these go for a lot of money from some of the artistic upscale design stores, but it looks really stinkin' simple and I already have a lot of buttons in jars. I wanted to show how cute this is! I've used a bunch o big heavy burgundy bead garlands for years and it's time for something more simple and fresh

Very cute! Thanks for sharing Annika. That looks like a project for my grandkids and their gram's button jar!

Next year is not soon enough for me. I already had a half
completed order at Joanne's Fabric for folding scissors I need for
the Mary Jane canning jar sewing kits for Christmas gifts. I went
back to complete my order and checked out their buttons. They are all
half price and shipping is free. (I hate to pay shipping.)
Happy Crafting,
Jenne

Jenne, you made me laugh in my tea! I need more of the right size too and will be heading off to the craft and fabric stores on a hunt!

Happy Sunday =}
