Creative Button Tree

Mary Lynn

Thank you for sharing

I agree palm palms are a safer option

I love this craft however we use little pom poms in different colors. Safer for some of our clients and they love it

Some of my residents love crafting but find it overwhelmingly difficult. With the tree already printed out I had to put the glue down for some, where others just did it all but the picking up and placing of buttons was the fine motor skills being used and the conversations re Autumn and then looking outside and connecting the activity to the environment we were in all made for a therapeutic yet creative craft afternoon.

Am planning an Autumn themed programme and there was the idea for creative button trees, just perfect.

All that fun of painting the trees and tree talk.

Buttons also tell stories.

I think many of us have button jars or our grandmothers' did, so I look forward to some lively conversation.

These are fun, we made some last year with our group. We used flat backed canvases so that is was easy for our clients to glue the buttons on. Great activity for any skill level!

We have made these button trees for our clients who leave the group to remember us by
