Arrange Christmas buttons along the card at varying lengths, making sure none of the buttons overlap on top of each other. Use different colors and sizes of buttons to add dimension to your Christmas card.

Glue each of the buttons onto the card with Tacky Glue.

With a fine tip black marker, draw lines from the top of each button to the top fold of the Christmas card. I found it helpful to turn the card upside down when drawing the lines. A ruler might also be helpful if you want your lines to be perfectly straight.

Draw bows at the top of each button on the string to give the look of hanging ornaments. To draw a bow, draw two oval loops with your black marker that connect to each other and the black line. Then add a curvy line coming out of the bottom of each loop.
