Button Floozies

I shopped at a an antique holiday sale the other day, and spied some charming buttons: We'd love to see your button art -- holiday themed or otherwise!

This is a small collage heart that was created with found papers, notions and BUTTONS! "LOVE" by Sue Marrazzo, ISAP, NCS Happy Valentine's Day BUTTON FLOOZIES!

I have been creating a lot of mixed media ornaments. Almost every one has a button or buttons on it. It is always that last finishing touch. The button on this ornament really spoke to me.  It says HOLIDAY, FESTIVE AND PARTY! This button was found in a jar of buttons purchased recently at a local thrift store. The button is clear plastic and has silver glitter floating throughout. Take a look, and remember to have FUN throughout the next week!!! Happy Holidays to ALL!

This is  a horse themed ornament created with all found collage items.  The final touches were the 3 buttons.  They were the perfect fit!  The buttons are: A square pearly button, a distressed black metal black burton, and a cream white round plastic button.

Here is a collage ornament that I created for 2014.  On this ornament is a found plastic bird button that   really is the "Star" of this piece!  The button tells the story of how love lifts us up...

I was so pleased to receive a Christmas surprise from my blog friend, Marydon of The Blushing Rose blog. We exchange gifts each year and this year, she created a beautiful layered button and yo yo ornament just for me! You can see more photographs and read all about it here on my blog at Brynwood Needleworks. (The chandelier drop was an extra bonus!) Happy New Year, everyone. Wishing each of you mounds and mounds of beautiful buttons this year!

I thought I'd share a few Christmas ornaments and decorations that I found which use buttons. I didn't share photos here since they're other people's property. Most of the links either have instructions or patterns or have a link to them. Enjoy the cuteness! Ornaments : Mitten ornament . Another mitten ornament . Christmas tree ornaments in denim . Gingerbread man and gal . Trees : Button tree . Another button tree with lots of buttons! And another button tree !
