Instructions

Prepare the stakes and discs: First, paint the wooden garden stakes and wood discs with the green spray paint. Make sure to coat them evenly and allow them to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
Create button patterns: Once the painted discs are dry, arrange and glue the buttons onto the circular wood discs in rainbow patterns until the surface is covered. Feel free to be creative with your layout!
Make leaf shapes: Cut leaf shapes from the green felt. These will add a lovely touch to your stakes when attached. Glue them securely to the wooden stakes.
Assemble the stakes: Next, attach the finished button flower heads to the top of each garden stake using the waterproof adhesive. Be sure to press firmly to ensure they bond well.
Cure before use: Let the stakes cure for 24 hours in a dry area before placing them into your garden beds. This will ensure everything is set properly.

Notes

Keep an eye on children during the crafting process, especially while using glue and paint. Use a sponge brush for cleaner adhesive application.
