Instructions

1. Make a button flower: Stack together 3 – 4 buttons, with the largest button on the bottom and the smallest on top. Bend the tip of an 8” length of wire to form a U. Thread the wire through two holes in the buttons, and tightly twist together the wires at the bottom of the button stack. Wrap stem tightly with floral tape, leaving the last two inches exposed.

2. Create additional button flowers, varying the sizes and colors of buttons in each flower. Depending on the size of your buttons, you’ll need 15 – 20 flowers for the bouquet.Wax the serrated knife blade with a bar of soap or an old candle. Cut a slice from the wide end of the foam egg so the egg will stand up. Cut a small slice from the narrow end of the egg.

3. Cut tissue paper into strips, or tear into pieces. Brush decoupage medium onto a portion of the foam egg. Apply tissue paper and smooth out wrinkles with fingers. Repeat, till egg is covered with tissue paper. Brush on a topcoat of decoupage medium and let dry.

4. Insert the flower stems into the top of the egg vase, arranging them as you go.Pin buttons at random all around the dry vase. Using mini glue dots, add pompom trim around the top edge of the vase.

5. Cut 1” squares from tissue paper. Insert a pearl head pin into center of each square and insert into the top of the vase, creating tufts. Arrange around the flower stems, concealing the top of the vase.
