After Christmas Sale

You all probably know about these little wreaths but I ran into three of them in an after-Christmas sale at an antique store. The best thing was that they were all made of very small, tiny buttons--rare to find and which I use often in my art. I had already put away the buttons from an all-red wreath and taken apart the multi-colored one before I realized I needed to take a picture of them for this blog. They were strung on floral wire twisted to hold them together in a wreath shape and then tied with a fabric strip hanger--very simple and cute. I'll make some next year only I won't sacrifice my smallest buttons to do so. I paid $2.00 a wreath.

What a find! I just love it when I find buttons at antique stores especially if they are on sale or under priced! Ü

Great find, only problem I have with my button collection I never want to use them lol they are stored and jars and pretty containers I may need a 12 step program for my button addiction.

Peace and Blessings

That is just plain adorable! Love those wreaths, I've never seen one (Thank god for my husband) I may just have to make one out of the zillion and one off-white and beige ceramic small buttons I have!

It always amazes me at how creative people are.
Who would have thought to use buttons in that fashion?
Smart idea and smart shopping on your part.
Have a great day.

What a great idea! I've never seen wreaths made of buttons before! That would be such a cute idea to put on Christmas packages.
