Here’s a last minute idea for wrapping your gifts or cards that will add that extra touch! You can easily crank out dozens of these log slice buttons if you have a saw and drill handy. We think they’d also look adorable on clothing or accessories, for a nice organic touch.

Materials

  • logs
  • drill with small bit
  • chop saw (or saw with mitre box)
  • safety goggles and dust mask
  • scrap piece of wood

Directions

  1. Slice the logs in thicknesses between .5″ and 2″.
  2. Drill four holes evenly spaced from the center of each slice.
  3. Brush off all the sawdust and use a BBQ skewer or chopstick to poke out the sawdust from inside the holes.
  4. If you want to, you can paint these with a couple coats of clear sealant to prevent dampness or staining.
