It’s time for Christmas crafting! If you are looking for Christmas craft ideas, this is a holiday Christmas tree coaster! It’s an easy craft!
If you have a bunch of buttons, as I do, you’ll need a place to store them! Check out How To Repurpose Candle Jars into stylish craft room storage!

Here is the video tutorial, so you can see exactly how I made it:
Directions:
1. I found this tree at the craft store. It was in a kit, with little markers, which I did not need. I found similar trees – MUCH CHEAPER – on Amazon and I listed them above.
2. I painted it green, using acrylic paint. I made sure to paint the edges and the back.
3. Once the paint has dried, I painted on the glue. Make sure not to go too thin!
4. I added a red button to the top of the tree and layered it with two smaller buttons.
5. Then, I added green buttons, in a random pattern. While you are doing this, realize that they are round and you will not be able to fully cover the tree.
6. I added two brown buttons to the bottom, for the trunk.
7. I pulled out my glass seed beads and pulled out green and red beads and a few brown.
8. I added the seed beads between the buttons. I tried to have the sides up, so you see the colors. They make a good filler in between and the red looks like little decorations.
9. I added green glitter and let it dry.
Once dry, I tapped off the excess glitter and it is finished!
I think it makes a super cute coaster. You can put silicone dots on the back, or you can add cork to the back.
That’s it! Thanks for stopping by!
Remember: Life’s too short not to shimmer, so grab your glue gun and your glitter!™ Stay safe!
