I’ll show you how to make this beautiful button tree so you can make one for your own home. I spray painted my canvas to give it a sunset glow effect, but you can paint it white or any other color that strikes you. Ready to make your own button tree? When you are done, be sure to check out all of my adult craft ideas.
Button Tree of vibrant colors
Buttons aren’t just for seamstresses you know. I always have a stash of buttons on hand for a variety of projects. I love using them with kid’s crafts, they are great for dressing up little projects, and perfect for a quick embellishment.
Buttons definitely have more uses than just fastening a blouse closed. This button tree I finished today is a perfect example.
TIP: While I don’t make and sell these, there are several sellers on Etsy that create all sorts of button tree art here.
RELATED: If you’re looking for more ideas, check out this collection of canvas wall art ideas.
I’ve had a brand new, still in the shrink wrap, 20″x24″ wrapped canvas sitting in my craft room for months. I bought it because it was on sale and I knew I wanted to make something like this button tree, though I assumed I would be painting the whole thing.
As I started brainstorming for the challenge, that’s when it hit me to make a button tree. I’ve seen several different kinds around the web, but I hadn’t seen any using dimensional paint.
So I pulled out the canvas and some pastel colored spray paints I had in the craft room. Here’s what I used.
Supplies you need for this button tree:
)
Buttons:
- Rustic Coconut Shell
- Sea Glass (Sea Glass has been discontinued so I linked to a set with similar colors)
- Earthly (The Earthly buttons that the manufacturer has is not the same as what I used so I linked to a set with similar colors
- Vacation
- Rose Garden
Lumiere dimension paints:
Design Master spray paints:
These paints are sold at Michaels. Here’s what they look like. Other brands will work too, whatever you prefer.
- Hyacinth (Krylon has a similar color of the same name as well)
- Aspen Yellow
- Perfect Pink
- Robin’s Egg
- Blue Sky
Tip: Michaels and Hobby Lobby both have a huge selection of canvases and quite often have them on sale. Or if you visit the stores often, you can use your 40% off coupon.
I started with Sky Blue, spraying one end of the canvas. Then I overlapped a bit with Robin’s Egg Blue, then some Hyacinth. I sprayed the other end with Perfect Pink, then over-sprayed with Aspen Yellow.
Then I just willy nilly sprayed some blue here, yellow there, purple here, until I liked the way it looked. I allowed the canvas to dry for about an hour.
I drew a simple tree trunk onto the canvas, sketching lightly with a pencil. I drew 5 main branches, then added smaller branches off of those. When I was happy with it I used a brown metallic finish paint to fill in the tree. I used a liner brush on the smaller branches.
This is where I had a little fun with the dimensional paints! I chose the colors Black, Brass, Bright Copper and Gold Pearl. These paints come out in a nice steady stream and looked beautiful, adding a really nice dimension to the canvas.
Next I chose some of the largest buttons in each of the button collections. I was using Rustic Coconut Shell (my favorites!), Sea Glass, Earthly, Vacation and Rose Garden. I placed them in various places on the canvas.
Once I was happy with their placement, I attached them with E6000 adhesive. It took a little while, but I just kept adding different sized and colored buttons everywhere, saving the tiniest buttons for the outer edges.
That’s it! A little spray paint for background effect, a simple tree drawing filled in with paint, some shimmering three dimensional paint, lots of beautiful colored buttons and some glue and you have a button tree.
So what do you think? Did I live up to the challenge?
I hope you enjoyed the project!

Below is a picture of another button tree that I created when I moved into my studio. The tree itself is tall instead of wide, and rather than one canvas, I used four of them to give it a pieced together look. Each canvas represents one of the four seasons. There are step by step photos of how I created this look at this link.
If you’re looking for something a little simpler, I created a small button tree using an embroidery hoop. This particular project incorporates the colors of the rainbow, hence the name “Embroidery Hoop Rainbow Button Tree“. It’s easy enough for kids to make as well, and you can change the size of the embroidery hoop to make it as big or as small as you want.
One of my favorite button projects of all time, even if it isn’t a button tree, is this rainbow themed button wind chime I made for my book, Button Mania. I absolutely love all of the colors and how they go together.
You can find bags and/or containers of colored buttons like these at crafts stores such as Michaels and JoAnn Fabrics. Garage sales will yield plenty of plain buttons that someone’s grandmother had stashed for years, but to find colors in bulk you will need to hit the craft store.
If it’s home decor ideas you are looking for, such as decorative items and wall art you can make yourself, then be sure to have a look through my home decor crafts category. There’s all sorts of great ideas in there from vases to canvas wall art to wreaths and frames.
This cute button lamp shade is a great craft for all ages. You don’t have to be particularly skilled to conquer this button masterpiece!
This button starfish wall art is a super easy button craft. Using an 8×10 canvas, some coastal colored paint and assorted neutral colored buttons, you can have this starfish wall art done in no time!
And finally, I wanted to share a friend of mine’s project here too. This wire wrapped tree suncatcher from Suzy’s blog is positively lovely, don’t you think? I love it!

Anneke James says
I would like to do some craft work now I am retired, I think I am going to try the button tree as I have a lot of buttons
Thanks
Debbie says
I love your button tree art. But unfortunately, not everyone who does crafts is an artist. Is there possibly a stencil or some other way to do the tree for this craft?
Amanda Formaro says
I’m afraid I don’t have the painting anymore so I wouldn’t be able to recreate a template for it. However, I found one online that is similar that could help get you started https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t-t-23907-tree-template
Joan Troiano says
you have the best ideas! i have made lavender sachet bags with purchased organdy bags i like the made up bags also and will be trying those with different herbs. i just looked at your denim wreath and will be trying that now.
Amanda Formaro says
Thanks Joan! It’s definitely a fun way to use up large scraps of fabric too!
Sheri says
When I first saw this idea I had a friend sketch the tree onto a blank canvas. Then I saw how you painted the background. If I paint the background now will I ruin my drawing?
Amanda Formaro says
Can you get some tracing paper and trace the drawing? Then paint the background and use the tracing paper design as a guide to add the tree back on?
edna cook says

When my grandmother passed away my daughter got her button collection. What a cool way for her to display some of them smile emoticon thanks for the idea!!
Paula K. See says
This tree is really neat. I thought of a family button tree. I wondered about a tree limb representing a member of the family and then children of that family member. It would use one color representing each child’s family. I love it if it would work. Maybe the button’s could be diyed the same color. Oh well, maybe another thought.
Amanda Formaro says
I’m sure that would be wonderful! :)
nan says
Love the Button Tree and the wire tree, too!
Amanda Formaro says
Thank you Nan!
Annette says
This is SO neat! I was thinking how neat would it be if I tried it and used semi precious gem stone chips and crystal chips instead of buttons? I may just have to try it and find out!!
Amanda Formaro says
I’m sure it would be beautiful!
Nafia says
Just wonderful, :)
shazia says
your work very nice i am a teacher i like your work.
Suzanne says
Just found this site. So sorry the give away is over. I do genealogy and thought this would look great with family pictures mixed in among the buttons. If I can get my son to draw the tree I will be making one. Beautiful Where can I buy the paints?

Hi Suzanne. You didn’t specify which paints you were asking about, but there’s a green box with some links in it for the tree paints and the spray paint I bought at Michaels

love to win the button tree. I am not a crafty person but I love crafts!
Amanda Formaro says
Hi Adrina! The contest actually ended a while ago, sorry about that!
MarieRoxanne says
Just saw this on Pinterest today. What a wonderful idea and it looks so pretty. I have tons of beads (I buy necklaces and bracelets at second hand stores just for the beads) so I could create something like this with my mountain of beads. Hope I can sew on the canvas, it’ll be more stable than gluing.

Thank you so much Amanda. Your work is gorgeous, original and very effective. Even though I am not an artist, I really enjoy art and this project was perfect for my week off from work.

Many thanks once again.

Jacqui says
Amanda, this has really inspired me – never done anything like this before.
I am a little nervous about the spray paint bit – did you spray whole canvas? When you say you sprayed blue one end of canvas, it that vertical or horizontally?
Going to give it a go :-)
Amanda Formaro says
Hi Jacqui! Don’t be nervous :) Horizontally, you can kind of see it in the step photo where I am painting on the branches. You don’t have to do the background in those colors if you don’t want to, you can do whatever you like! Enjoy :)
Amanda Formaro says
Oh and yes, the entire canvas :)
Marilyn Wright says
I was truly amazed of the beauty of this picture, just using the material that you used. It really inspired me, and I think I’ll try to make one of these..

Francie Workman says
I need to know where to get the spray paints you used, the finish paint for the tree and the Jaquard 3D paints please. Thank you. I want to make one of these for my daughter-in law. I already have the buttons. Going to use fall color buttons since that is her fave season. I am also going to add names of their family next to a group of buttons that are close to center.
Amanda Formaro says
Hi Francie! The spray paints I bought at Michaels. The brown metallic finish I used was Americana Dazzling Metallics. I don’t remember the exact color, but I think they only have a couple shades of brown, it’s also available at Michaels and other craft stores. The 3D paints that I used are from http://www.jacquardproducts.com/lumiere-3d.html
Francie Workman says
Thanks so much for the info on where to get the paints. I am going to make one using fall colored buttons for my daughter-in law. She loves fall. I am also going to select a special spot on it to put the names of son, daughter-in law and 2 grandsons (family tree) :-)

Awesome, have fun with it Francie!

I have been struggling to do something of this sort, but can’t seem to get it just right. Though I will not give up, and will continue to try to come up my own “take” on this, I would love to have your button tree for my sweet sister. Just the right thing to brighten her day! She has been more than generous with me, and has shared her extensive button collection freely. I know that she buys buttons at buttons galore, because she told me about their website. You have done beautiful, happy work here!

Working with buttons as a medium is so relaxing. I’ve purchased buttons from Buttons Galore in the past. My favorite are the 1lb bags! Also, since I collect buttons I’m always looking for an additional way to craft with them. This is the best button tree I’ve seen yet! I’ll try using the dimensional paints on the buttons themselves too, to give them an additional pop. You did a great job on your tree!

I very much love this idea. The wheels are turning in my mind as to how I could incorporate small family pictures onto some of the larger buttons. Thanks for all of your great ideas!

Hi Amanda – I’d love to win because I am not a crafty person at all, but totally love your unique ideas and beautiful projects. I think I could actually make something this gorgeous following your tutorial!
Netta says
This would fit right in with the wall (I call it “My Family Tree” wall)in my family room. If I don’t win, I’ll have to find the time to make me one. Thanks for sharing your talents.
Barb says
I’d love to win because that tree is gorgeous! But to be honest, I’d commission my teenage daughter to do the project. She’s so good at art; this would be a blast for her.

I loved all the great buttons that Buttons Galore had to offer, they are great! My favorite was the flutterbug though, super cute!

Jennyroo says
I’d love to win because this is an awesome project! Full stop. I would love to try to recreate it! Pick me!
Diane Revilla says
I’m a teacher and am always looking for inexpensive crafts for my students. Funny that you used buttons, I had buttons my mother gave me to use in the classroom. I showed my students how they could make flowers using the buttons. We even used decorative cupcake holders for flowers and placed a huge button in the middle.
Why I would love to win, for my kids. I would love to bring in a different medium using paints. And, a teacher can’t have enough buttons! No, I am not an art teacher. I teach all subjects but truly believe that art/crafting allows for creative expression in my classroom. Thanks for the ideas!

It was hard to pick my favorite buttons, but on behalf of my grandson I go with the Childhood: Dinosaurs!

I’m a “Bling Bling” kind of girl so it has to be the Sparkle Silver in the
Lumiere 3D Dimensional Metallic Paint!
Brenda Griffin says
Amanda,
I loved the tutorial for the canvas tree. I just had to try and make it. I have absolutely no talent at all and have never tried crafts. I knew I had to try this one. I could not have done it without your tutorial.
Thank you so very much. Brenda Griffin
Amanda Formaro says
Thanks so much for saying Brenda! So glad you enjoyed it and that the tutorial was helpful :)
Sarah says
I was just wondering if you do commissions? We have a large space above out sofa that I would love to fill with one of these trees. I am devoid of all talent :-)
Sarah
Amanda Formaro says
I’m sorry Sarah, but I don’t! But thank you so much for the compliment :)

Sarah –
Hi! I have had my craft business, Mirabilia, for 18 years and have done almost every craft one could think of, including sewing pillows, shawls called “Wild Wraps”, knitted vests, redecorated Michael Stars tees called “SWEET TEEz”, quilled cards and art, decoupaged vintage lunch boxes…it goes on and on! I would love to do a piece like this for you if you are still looking for a commissioned piece. I’d be glad to chat with you about this if you’re interested. If so, please email me at [email protected] (used to live in Atlanta, now live in Colorado Springs)…thanks!
Carol
P.S. Amanda Formaro – I hope it’s okay that I make this offer to Sarah since you don’t do commission work…
