Directions

• If you want, you can paint the entire canvas to give it a base layer, but it can be left blank. If you want to paint it, let it dry completely before moving to the next step.
• To make the project even easier, you can use a tree trunk and branches template as a guide for your tree. To transfer the tree template, use the pencil to outline the tree trunk and the branches. Make sure to use a large enough template, which will depend on your canvas’ size.
• Once ready, use a paint brush and brown paint to paint the tree trunk and branches. To make it more realistic, you can add lighter brown or darker brown accents to the trunk and branches. Let it dry completely.
• Arrange the buttons near your tree’s branches. When you are satisfied with the look of your tree, begin gluing all the buttons into their places. As soon as all buttons are glued to your canvas, you can spray a layer of sealer on your art to make it last longer.

Use different bases for a stunning effect

That’s it! It’s really this easy! You can go the extra mile and make not only a fall tree for a Fall Craft, but use buttons in other colors to make also trees for the three remaining seasons as well. They will look adorable, especially in a kids’ room, but not only there. And just think about what a wonderful gift these DIY Wall Art Canvases would make. Another beautiful idea is to use this technique on a smaller scale to make some wonderful handmade greeting cards; their recipients will cherish them for a long time to come!
