Crafts Class Button embellished artwork

I did a crafts class with some local Girl Scouts this month.  Our project was a button embellished piece of artwork.  The sample was a tree accented with buttons (not shown), but they could create anything they wanted.  I told them we could do button trees and showed the samples, but it's really up to them.  They started with painting the canvas background and deciding on the theme and some sketched out their tree, others just went for it and/or did something totally different.  Not everyone used buttons either...I love their creativity!  The class was a huge hit with the girls.
