Handprint Button Tree Canvas – Spring Kid Craft Idea

Today’s handprint button tree themed craft tutorial is perfect to get the kids involved in the making today!

In our finished button tree canvas 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

PAIR YOUR FINISHED BUTTON TREE CANVAS WITH —> DIY Button Flag Wooden Frame – Craft Idea For 4th of July

Handprint Button Tree Craft Supplies:
* Large Canvas – Any Size You Like!
* Brown/Green Craft Paint
* Paint Brushes
* Various Colored Buttons {any colors, large & small}
* 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 bottom of the tree design.
* Display your finished handprint and button tree canvas proudly for all to see!
