Another simple ornament-mini wreaths

Leave it to #2 to find me another simple ornament to make.  Not only is he a party planner, craft designer and artist, but he also has a knack for finding things for my frugal taste.
He actually found this idea in a book that I had set out with all their Christmas books.  I had glanced through the book, but had not had time to really look through it.  Anyway, once he showed me the picture I realized I had everything on hand.
The little grapevine wreaths were already hanging on our tree with ribbon, but they were plain.  So I dressed them up a bit and here is the finished product.
Nothing fancy....just simple.

Materials I used for the mini wreaths:
-grapevine wreaths(found these at Micheal's)
-buttons(any color you like)
-ribbon(again...any color you like)
-glue

This is such an easy and quick craft for children to do.  I have two more for the boys to "dress up" today.
Allowing them to help with decorating the tree(and around the house!)sure brings joy to their little faces.  They get so excited and anxious to share with all who enter our door.

The mini wreaths are just a simple touch to add to our tree.  And I get joy knowing I did not spend a dime!
