 | Beautiful Button Christmas Cards19 December 2014 | Nicola |

In the second of our series of DIY Christmas card tutorials, we’re using next-to-nothing to create some lovely handmade cards, which will definitely find themselves in the centre of the mantelpiece this season.

You Will Need:
Card blanks
Buttons of various colours
Washi tape
A glue gun
1. Decide what picture you want to make, and then choose the relevant coloured buttons. Have a play around, and draft out the layout. We decided to make a tree, with a star and pot, but there are some great versions online with wreaths, baubles and even gingerbread houses.

2. Starting from the top of the design, lift each button, apply a small amount of glue and press it in place. Work your way through until all of the buttons have been fixed to the card.
3. Finish your design off with some washi tape, or any other trimmings you fancy.
