Button Egg Topiary

I'd like to share an Easter craft with you today.

You'll need a styrofoam egg, pins, a wooden dowel, floral foam,

a flower pot or container and

buttons...

 or should I say, BUTTONS!

Just start pinning the buttons to the styrofoam egg.  Go ahead and overlap them and fill in the spaces as best you can.  Leave a small area uncovered so you can insert the wooden dowel.

When you are done, it should look something like this:

I then got a small flower pot and filled it with some floral foam.

Stick wooden dowel into the styrofoam egg.  I covered my dowel with ribbon

but you could leave it as is or even paint it a pretty color. 
Stick other end of wooden dowel into the floral foam.

I added some crinkled paper to cover the floral foam and now I have
a button egg topiary!

This is a very easy craft, however, I must warn you, you will use alot of buttons!

I'm so glad you visited Random Thoughts today.  I really do appreciate each & every visit.
