I put a large needle on each end, and got Rebecca to help me string.  She likes playing with buttons.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/dsc_2157-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Buttons up close 2\" title=\"Buttons up close 2\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-167\" srcset=\"http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/dsc_2157-300x199.jpg 300w, http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/dsc_2157.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Most buttons I just went in and out once, others I had to loop through twice since the holes were bigger.  Easy quick project, but wow, does it tangle easily.  If I did it again I would be sure to only use buttons I liked from both sides, because half of them are hanging face down, including all of the ones on posts.  Those may have been a bad idea.  But it&#8217;s pretty as a whole on the tree.  There were some beads randomly mixed in with the buttons, so I used those too.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/dsc_2209-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Buttons on Tree\" title=\"Buttons on Tree\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-168\" srcset=\"http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/dsc_2209-300x199.jpg 300w, http:\/\/oneinchworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/dsc_2209.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t see I had two of those green metal bound buttons until I&#8217;d already strung one several buttons in, if I wasn&#8217;t too lazy I would have pulled it off to save for monster eyes.  I hate undoing work though.  Press forwards!
