Brighten Your Houseplants with DIY Button Flowers

To help beat the cabin fever that has been settling in, I ran out to the store and picked up a houseplant, and I don’t know if it was the weather affecting me or what, but I thought this cute little ivy could use some color … so I made colorful button flowers to brighten it up.

Let me tell you, these colorful button flowers are super easy to make!

 

Ivy HouseplantThis is what she used to look like … pretty and healthy, but nothing to write home about.

Simply stick the button flower’s wire stem into the pot and bend as needed.

  1. Cute as a…well, you know. 🙂
    Gracie would LOVE this!
    I think a topiary with neutral colored buttons would be so pretty by our kitchen sink. We can’t have real plants in this house. The cats think the pots are port-a-potties. *sigh*

  2. What a cute project! The only thing I can get to live is the philidendrom? It’s not that pretty so maybe some of these would spruce the plant up. Love the buttons, could really change the look by the style and color…. you got me to thinking 🙂
