Aw, thank you so much!! Good luck on the hunt. I do have a link in the video description of some star beads that are a little bit larger than mine, but should still work okay. Let me know if you have any questions. Merry Christmas!

Aw, thanks! As I said, I'm a big hoarder of buttons. I don't know why, but they're just one of those things that I can barely walk away from at a thrift store. I've gotten better about it since my collection is so large now. Ha. Thanks for watching.

@CraftyHope 2 жыл бұрын

If making the loop seems troublesome, you might want to just twist the wire then form it into its own hook for hanging! But, the original way is pretty easy too once you go for it. Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions at all! Thanks so much for watching, Shirley!

Hi there! I love the way these look and will be making them this year. I was just wondering, do you have an Amazon alternative to those stars for the top?

@CraftyHope 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Terry! I'm so happy you like these little button trees. Thanks for your watch and for the great question. I really should probably add a few links to my products so thanks for that reminder. As for the star beads, I found these (amzn.to/2GkvvEa) that are a metal alloy and do come in several colors like the plastic ones I used. I hope it helps! Thanks again!!

@msgoodspeller 11 ай бұрын

Love these! What type of hook do you use after its done?

@CraftyHope 11 ай бұрын

Thanks so much! It all depends on what I'm using it for. They are great as small Tree Ornaments which just need a regular ornament hanger. But, I've also put ear wires on them to turn them into earrings. And, you can just slide a ribbon through the hole in the top too for either an ornament or as a necklace. It's really all up to you!

I hope I saw the tree buttons on Facebook and I thought I'd check out how to make them and you are video popped up. What I want to know is do you have to use wire can you use fishing line? Because I have a lot of that

@CraftyHope 2 жыл бұрын

Hey, I'm so glad you found me. As for using the fishing line, I have to admit that it's not something I've used for much crafting. If you use crimp beads to secure it, I think it would work. But, I feel much safer using the wire personally, as it's a material I work with often. I'm sorry I can't help more.WIshing you the best!

@sharonneufeld2008 7 ай бұрын

do you think to make it shiny and glittery you could use mod podge and sprinkle glitter on the buttons. do you think it would work. thanks!

@CraftyHope 7 ай бұрын

Hmm, it would be worth a shot, especially if they're not going to be handled much. You could also try glitter glue and/or Stickles (brand name). I would personally just try one or two to see how it works out before I did a whole batch of them though. I'd love to hear how it works out for you! Great idea and good luck!

What size are the star beads, please? Would 12-15mm work? If so, where to find these? Thanks so much. Can't wait to do this with my crafty ladies church group! Dee

@CraftyHope 11 ай бұрын

Dee, The star beads I used just came from Dollar Tree and are in the 10mm range. I've linked some in the description box on Amazon, but they're only 7mm - they're just the closest thing I could find on Amazon. And, the size of the star just depends on the buttons you use. I personally just used what I had on hand. Much like a real Christmas Tree, the size of the star all depends on the tree you have. And, sometimes your star might be too big because you got a smaller tree this year than last year. With that said, 12mm beads might work great and make a bigger statement. It's all personal preference. I say go for it!

@theresayarnell7743 Жыл бұрын

How long ago did you purchase the star beads

It's been a little while. However, I did see some a few months ago in one of my local Dollar Trees. It's just one of those things you have to keep your eyes out for. Good luck and thanks for watching!!

@CraftyHope 11 ай бұрын

Mine are in the 10-11mm range. Six might be small, but there's no reason you can't try it and see. You might like them better at that size. I just used what I had on hand and encourage you to so the same!
