2.  Next, start adding the medium sized buttons to the shape.  Logistically, it will work best if you have the added button be touching an already pinned button in some way.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://twopeasinabucket.kaboose.com/cg_display.asp?cmd=display&seed_id=22565">
3.  Now move to the smallest buttons, and use them to fill in any spaces or gaps that have developed.  Feel free to double stack buttons, too, for variety and dimension.  If you overlap any buttons, be sure to make the overlay happen nearer the bottom of the cone, in a "shingles" type fashion to keep the tree-like appearance.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://twopeasinabucket.kaboose.com/cg_display.asp?cmd=display&seed_id=22565">
4.  To finish the top, insert corsage pins vertically into the backs of buttons with a "shank" behind them (rather than 2-4 holes through center).  These are the buttons that have a solid top with a hidden, sideways hole.  Ring these buttons around the top of the tree, pushing the corsage pins straight down into the cone top (perpendicular to the ground) in a "circling the wagons" fashion.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/507DDD9D-D0E0-4BCB-AA48-B529960DEB27/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
