Button Floozies

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! If you'd like to see more ornaments, check out the Button Floozies Swap group flickr page !

I participated in a wonderful White Christmas Tag swap where we each made and exchanged 16 tags.  Most, but not all of them were winter white-themed.  Here's my favorite: Can you guess why?  Beautiful buttons and simple but elegant design!  It was handmade by Garna Barker.  If you'd like to see the rest of the tags from this swap, you are invited over to visit my blog post about it!
