Today's ornament is a cute little snowflake made out of buttons!
Last year I bought a beaded snowflake kit for our kids to make up during Christmas break. Well...they weren't that big of a hit. The beads were really hard to put on and then they wouldn't stay on! So I packed it all away for another day. And that day came! Here are the metal forms:
I grabbed my button bag and picked out a bunch of small white buttons. Then I plugged in the glue gun and waited for it to heat up. Kat kept herself busy with the button bag:
Once the glue was ready to go, I hot glued buttons to each side of the metal frame. Here's the result:
Maybe a little wobbly, but I think it's pretty cute! And no two snowflakes are alike, right?
holy moly, what a great idea. and SUPER cute!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I don't know if I have enough buttons, but I'll have to look tonight. Thanks for the idea!
