I’m joining with my lovely friend Jen over at The Mad House and joining in with the Kid Made Christmas Card Series. Little boy and I thought it would be nice Kids Button Christmas Card Craft and add in a little bit of sparkle, it is Christmas after all. Do let me know if you make any of these and check out the Kids Made Christmas Cards, there are some great ideas there.
What you need to make the Christmas card
I bought all of these items from The Works, but these are just suggestions. We do have a large jar of buttons, but these were light and colourful and only £1.
- White cardboard or white blank cards and envelopes
- An assortment of buttons
- Glitter
- Glue
- 3d pearl paints, felt pens or paints
- Pen
How to make the bauble button Christmas card
- Start with your blank card, with the fold to the top.
- Add some dots of glue where you want your button baubles to go.
- Add the buttons onto the glue.
- Use the 3d pearl paints, pens, paints, etc to draw a string/chain to connect the button baubles. Leave a little space at the top for the bottom of the Christmas tree.
- Draw, colour, paint or use the 3d pearl paints to make the bottom of the Christmas tree at the top of the card.
- Add in some little red bows if you want.
- Add in your wording at the bottom. I used Deck the Halls, but you can add in whatever you like.
- You can add some glitter if you want to add a little bit of sparkle.
- Then let your card dry.
- What do you think? Tyler did a great job I think.
How to make the Christmas tree Christmas tree button card

- Keep adding in the buttons in a triangle formation. Using different size and colour of buttons.
