Button Wreath

These wreaths from Martha are going to find a new home on my tree this year. I just need to remember the website that sold buttons in bulk! Or find some at a craft store.

What you need:
Needle-nose pliers or wire cutters
16-gauge copper wire ( or 22-gauge green floral wire) cut to 9-inch lengths
72 buttons for each wreath
Scissors
Satin ribbon, 1/8 inch wide and 6 inches long
Seam binding for decorative bow

What You DO
Using pliers, make a small loop at one end of the wire. Thread buttons onto the wire until you have enough to form the size of the wreath you want. Using the pliers, bend the plain end of the wire around the looped end, forming the buttons into a circle. Make a loop with the ribbon to hang the wreath and then use seam binding to tie a bow.

That is it! Pretty easy and so so SO cute!!
