Buttons of all sizes, shapes and colors are a universal material for various crafts with your own hands. Today we offer you several interesting ideas how to do new Year decoration from buttons. Making toys from buttons is a simple and exciting process, so you can safely involve children in such a creative activity.
New Year's decorations made of buttons: Christmas tree decorations and balls
You can make a variety of different things from buttons Christmas decorations in the form of figures of Santa Claus, a snowman, Christmas trees, snowflakes, wreaths, as well as balls that can be used both for decorating a Christmas tree and for holiday decor interior
To make a button ball, you will need:
- foam ball, polystyrene, polyurethane foam or floral sponge;
- pins with bead-shaped heads (optional glue);
- regular buttons with holes;
- ribbon
The ball itself can be purchased from polystyrene or foam plastic in online stores, from a floral sponge - in flower shops, and you can even make a ball from polyurethane foam yourself, although the process is not easy, so it will be easier to buy. Alternatively, you can use a fabric ball tightly filled with padding polyester. If, for the safety of children, you plan to use glue rather than pins, then you can take any ball - plastic, rubber, tennis, to which you can glue buttons.
Depending on what buttons you will use, the ball will need to be pre-dyed or left in its original color. For example, if you want to do New Year's toy from white and beige buttons, then leave the ball white, but if you want to make it bright red with a green ornament, then it’s better to paint the foam from a spray can.
Attach with pins or glue a loop of ribbon or string, by which the ball can be hung on the Christmas tree. Then carefully pin button by button to the ball. You can combine colors and sizes of buttons, attach buttons to one another. You can fill the space between the buttons with pins.

Here you can give free rein to your imagination and make an original Christmas tree from scrap materials: thread, coffee, sweets, New Year's rain.
In our master class we suggest making a Christmas tree from buttons and tailor's needles. Creative Christmas tree, made with your own hands, will look very unusual and original and will complement the New Year's ambience at home. A Christmas tree made of buttons can be presented as a gift to loved ones. Do Christmas tree quite simple, the main thing is the desire to find more and different buttons. If there are children in the house, the process of making a Christmas tree can be done jointly. Surely kids will really enjoy sorting through the colorful buttons and then gluing them on. The only thing that should be excluded for safety reasons is the step of decorating the Christmas tree with needles, and instead you can glue beads, for example.
So, let's start making a Christmas tree.
Necessary materials:
- cardboard;
- a piece of burlap;
- multi-colored buttons;
- tailor's needles;
- stapler;
- hot glue;
- ribbons of different colors.
Manufacturing process:
1. Roll a cone from cardboard and secure it with a stapler. Trim the edges so that the cone has an even base.
2. Wrap the cone in burlap. We fix the fabric with hot glue. Instead of burlap, you can use any other fabric of your choice. We fold the edges of the fabric inward and secure with hot glue.
3. Glue the buttons to the cone. It is most convenient to glue the buttons with hot glue, or you can also use quick-drying super glue. It is advisable to take buttons different color, diameter and texture, then the Christmas tree will look more interesting and elegant.
4. We stick tailor’s needles with beads at the end along the perimeter of the Christmas tree. This way we imitate Christmas tree needles.
5. We make bows from ribbons and decorate the Christmas tree with them. We attach the bows to the Christmas tree using tailor's needles. If desired, the Christmas tree can be additionally decorated with rhinestones, beads, sequins, this will make it even more elegant.
6. Christmas tree ready with your own hands. As you can see, it won’t take much time to make it. Now all that's left to do is find appropriate place to decorate the house or to determine the new owner of the Christmas tree. You can also make a Christmas tree from
It’s quite simple to make, and any child can surely cope with this task.
What will you need for your job?
Firstly, multi-colored flat buttons of the most different sizes. It is advisable to select them in one color scheme, but you can experiment with different combinations colors.
Secondly, a strong thread. It is convenient to use yarn for knitting of small thickness. We select a suitable needle for the thread. Everything is ready, you can start working.
First we think about exactly what ours will look like. From the buttons with our own hands, we select those that suit us in size and color, arrange them in a row or stack them on top of each other, imagining how the craft will turn out.
Be sure to select several black or brown buttons of the same (small) diameter to make a trunk out of them.
We begin our work with the manufacture of the barrel. We sew the buttons to each other as we would sew them to fabric. If the buttons are not fixed well enough, they will slip off and the Christmas tree will constantly lose its shape. It is convenient to use buttons with not two, but four holes, which are best sewn crosswise.
We sew the first button of the Christmas tree crown to the last button of the “trunk”.
Gradually string all the buttons onto the thread.
Decorate the top with a button unusual shape, bead or bow made of satin ribbon.
For such a Christmas tree you will need a thin, but thick cardboard(not too hard so that it doesn’t break at the slightest bend), glue, buttons, pins, beads or seed beads, other decor as desired and available.
How to complete the craft:
Roll the cardboard into a ball and glue it to the side. Trim the bottom of the cardboard bag so that you get a cone.
Place a bead or small bead on each pin (if they do not have decorative heads) and pin the button onto the cone. The buttons should cover the entire surface of the cardboard. If there are gaps anywhere, use beads on pins or the smallest buttons to disguise them.
Glue a large button with a bright pattern on top; a small star-shaped Christmas tree decoration, a pompom, or a fluffy bow will also work.
Helpful advice: for the base, you can take not a cardboard cone, but a cone made from a floral base for bouquets or foam.
Attention! Instead of pinning each button onto a pin, you can glue them (see top photo).
Flat Christmas tree made of buttons
For such a Christmas tree you will also need cardboard (hard only), buttons, glue and string for hanging.
How to complete the craft:
Cut out the base of the Christmas tree from cardboard (its silhouette can be either naturalistic or the simplest - a large triangle).
Glue the buttons close to each other, trying to alternate them by color. Distribute the buttons so that they fit as tightly as possible, without gaps. If there are still gaps between the buttons, you can stick the smallest buttons or small beads on them.
WITH reverse side Glue a loop of cord or ribbon onto the Christmas tree.
Helpful tip: d For the basis of such a homemade Christmas tree, you can use thin plywood rather than cardboard.
