and this one is super easy and in my opinion TOTALLY cute!!! I got the idea of Ali Edward's blog ~ Ali is amazing!! (There is a link to her blog on the side bar!)
Anyways, it's a button tree. I bought two packs of buttons from Archiver's and mixed them together to make this. I used pearl topped pins (nope, that's not the "technical" name for them, lol) There are about 150 buttons and pins on this tiny lil tree. I was thinking about doing a three tree trio (say that three times fast), but will need a lot more buttons and a ton more pins, so I am going to reevaluate.
Now, what to do with the top of it...anyone have any brilliant ideas??

Wow! Keri that is way cool. I bet it is one heavy tree too. As to the top what about looking for a couple of star shaped buttons that you could glue back to back and place on the top.
That is soooooooooo cuuuuuute!!!! And think of the different color combos, themes, etc you could make!! Hmmmm.........a topper? What about a tiny little ornament snowman or something??
Keri - this very cute! To top it, could you get the tiny spools of thread, in basic colors, and put on dowels in a star shape? If you added a thread cutter and needles, too, it would be very functional for the recipient - all necessities in one place!

Very cute idea! I have seen a couple of these on other blogs and they just left them plain on the top. They are all just fabulous!
