I was invited to a Snowflake Party. Now, I know for most you that won’t sound strange but many people will be wondering what the heck a Snowflake Party is. For instance, when I told my family that dinner would be a bit delayed because I was finishing my project for a Snowflake Party – they gave me that blank look that I often get… A Snowflake Party is basically a group of bloggers and a hostess all creating a themed project. Fun!
I was invited to the party awhile ago and was poised to let the hostess know that I wouldn’t be able to participate - it's just such a crazy time of year. But just as the party deadline was approaching, I found a lone wooden snowflake in my supplies. It looked so sad and bare I decided to try to decorate it for the party.
The buttons are glued to the wood base and layered to cover up any bare spots. And, just like snowflakes, each button is unique and different.
I added a loop of vintage seam binding so I could hang up my snowflake.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Oh, Carolyn! That's absolutely GORGEOUS! I'd WRITE more but I'm going to head to my craft table with my buttons ...!

ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty snowflake craft! I love the buttons, and your photographs nicely show off the wonderful detail of the buttons too!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I'm definitely going to have to try this with some of my vintage buttons.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty ornament! I have tons of buttons that I have collected over the years. This is a great idea for using some of them.
ReplyDeleteLove all the vintage buttons, so cute!
ReplyDeleteCarolyn,
ReplyDeleteIt is SO pretty! I really like that you used off white buttons! I would have used the glittery glass ones, at first thought, but I think yours is gorgeous!
FUN, idea....
Hearts to you,
Betsy
Oh Beautiful!!! So very creative.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Carolyn!
ReplyDeleteI have a button box that was my grandma's that I played with all the time when I was little. I still have it in my sewing/craft room ~ old buttons are just....well....awesome!
I'll be featuring your snoflake at my linky party tomorrow.
What a beautiful blog! Love, love old buttons and creating with them. Snowflakes are beautiful
ReplyDeleteI just started a new Finding the Pretty & Delicious Linky Party on my blog this week - would love to have you stop by and share! http://www.yourhomebasedmom.com/finding-the-pretty-delicious-linky-party/
Very beautiful Carloyn! I have featured this on Craft Gossip this morning :)
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! What a great way to display those buttons you inherited from your mother and grandmother! Lacking a wooden snowflake you should be able to make your own form using popsicle sticks!!!!

ReplyDeleteI love old button and "inherited" two collections of buttons from elderly neighbors, some dating back to their grandmothers. I have been at a loss of what to do. I did cover a mask with pearl buttons but was at a loss for other ideas. I love this!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the post..an adorable project. You have some awesome buttons.
