HAPPY FALL!

Today's blog is a family, fun DIY Project for all ages!
It's that spooky time of the year again and as much as we love to consume pumpkin spiced goods we love to dress for the holiday.  This project is stylish sweet treats you can't eat but def show off:) 

WHAT YOU NEED: 
  • 2 yellow buttons
  • 2 orange buttons
  • 2 white buttons
  • scissors
  • 2 surgical steel french hooks
  • brown yarn OR for my advanced ladies you can use thin sterling or copper wire
HOW TO MAKE:

  1. Take yarn, cut about a foot string.  
  2. Take the string and french hook and insert an end of the yarn into the bottom of the hook.  
  3. Tie a small knot so that the hook and string are attached near the end of string.
  4. Take your white button and thread string through ONE openings with yarn.
  5. Slide the button all the way so that the it is almost touching the hook. 
  6. Make a knot and cut string.  
  7. Take the loose string and thread through the other opening of your white button AND thread through ONE opening of your orange button. 
  8. Make a knot and cut string. 
  9. Again take the rest of the string and thread through the other opening of the orange and ONE opening of the yellow button. 
  10. Make knot and cut access string. 
Look at image above to guide you.  The idea is to attach one button at a time to the other in order to make the dangling affect.  This DIY uses yarn but the advance ladies may use wire like image above. Follow the same steps.


HAPPY HAUNTING!
