Today’s handprint button tree themed craft tutorial is perfect to get the kids involved in the making today!
In our finished piece, I personally LOVE that my son’s handprints are the tree limbs so it makes for an extra special detail to me. In turn, it makes for a great keepsake I can treasure for years to come!
I currently have our tree displayed proudly in my craft room, but I think I’ll move it in our living room for some spring time decor.
So using a large blank canvas, various sizes/colors of craft circular buttons and of course paint – you too can have this awesome handprint button tree displayed in your home like me! You can also change up the colors to reflect a theme/season or even your style of decor! Find all the crafty details below!
Happy crafting, my friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s creative button tree artwork on our Facebook page for us to admire today! #gluedtomycrafts
Handprint Button Tree Craft Supplies:
* Large Canvas
* Brown/Green Craft Paint
* Paint Brush
* Various Colored Buttons
* Hot Glue Gun
* Cute kid with hands
* Baby Wipes
Directions:
* First paint the trunk of the tree on your canvas. This will help determine where the handprints will go.
* Paint your child’s hands brown and have them press their hands on the canvas to make their handprints. Repeat until you get the “tree” look you want.
* Using your paint brush – fill in any areas that might need paint. Let dry completely.
* Get the hot glue gun ready and glue your buttons onto the canvas. Make sure NOT to cover up the handprints completely. You will want to see them a bit but make the tree look full.
* Once done adding the buttons, if desired – paint on some grass on the botton of the tree.
* Display proudly.

Hi Maria – I honestly couldn’t tell you where I picked them up from :( We did this craft back in 2014 and so much has happened since then. They were pre-made like that though, I didn’t personally make them by hand. I wish I was more help! Maybe Michaels or Hobby Lobby would be a good place to look for something similar – Stacey
