Here is the ornament that I made and sent to my swap partners in the Button Floozies Christmas Ornament Swap!
I made it from a vintage Jello mold tin that I painted, glittered, and filled with snowy things!
There's a little vintage Monopoly house and hotel -- the old, wooden ones -- that I painted white, as well as a bottle brush tree and little sequined trim flowers that look like snow-covered bushes.
The hanger is held in place by a mother of pearl button, and the rest of the required buttons for the swap are dangles hanging from the top. I love making these!

How utterly charming! This weekend, at a yard sale, I found a bunch of vintage individual-sized jello molds. Now I know what to do with them: Christmas versions of those lovely old sugar eggs at Easter. Thanks for a wonderful idea!
That is a beautiful ornament! I love your blog!
They are so sweet... you are so creative!
Adorable! Always love mini things!
This is just adorable. Was it hard to get it to balance so it hung right? Heading over to check out the other on BF now. I am way behind on my blog-reading!
