Pink buttons and pearlized pins were used to create this cute and fun tree. A nice finishing touch is the glittered paper flower with a pink pearl brad.

Approximate Time: 90 minutes

Supplies:

• Styrofoam cone 3 7/8 x 11 7/8 inches
• buttons in light pink, large and small
• white pearlized pins, about 400
• flower
• pearl pink brad
• hot glue

Instructions:

1. Insert one pearlized pin through button holes to secure in place. Continue in this manner until the entire foam cone is covered.

2. Attach paper flower with a dot of hot glue as shown in project photo.
