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.

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.

Make this beautiful button tree for your home. This button tree tutorial shows you step by step how to turn an ordinary canvas into colorful wall art!

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:

  • 20″ x 24″ canvas (or at Michaels)
  • Brown metallic paint
  • E6000 (or at Michaels)
  • Liner paintbrush


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:

  • Black
  • Brass
  • Bright Copper
  • Gold Pearl


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.

Make this beautiful button tree for your home. This button tree tutorial shows you step by step how to turn an ordinary canvas into colorful wall art!

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 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!

    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?

      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?

    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.

    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.

    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 :-)

      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

        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) :-)

    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 love all of them, but to choose just one, it would have to be anything from the Spring Collection, maybe lil’ blossoms.

    My favorite buttons from Buttonsgaloreandmore – would have to be the Harvest blend — there is such a variety – and I think it’d be perfect for this project.

    Thank you so much for the opportunities!

    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’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!

      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

            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…
