Naked Button Blog Hop

Naked Button Blog Hop

Happy Saturday everyone!

Tanner, aka Mr. Cricut Crazy asked me to be in the Naked Button Blog Hop after getting flack for not threading his buttons before putting them on his projects.  He wanted to show that you can use ‘naked’ buttons or non-threaded buttons, and still have a ca-ute project!

If you want to start at the beginning, the hop today is starting with mrcricutcrazy- it’s a short and sweet hop—and you are guaranteed to find a ‘naked’ button on each post– so watch for them!

I have tons of buttons, but–I really wanted to try something a little different with my special Close to my Heart sparkle buttons, because they are JUST SO PRETTY!!

Using a large button, I hot glued the pieces of cut hanger to the button, alternating the long ones with the short ones. Then I glued my sparkle buttons along with white buttons along the hanger pieces.  I then, added a final large button to the center-  I wrapped some Crinkle Ribbon to the top, to make a loop to hang it on a…..

Christmas Tree– Isn’t it pretty!! Can you believe those are buttons?? They look like rhinestones!

(Also–I did not dig out my tree for this picture….I just took out a wreath, to take a quick picture!)

Okay–I have to admit…I did have to stop myself from tying a cute little bow through the very top button — sorry Tanner.. ;)
