Cute As A Button Craft 4. This craft is easy and so lovely. The ornament adds a bit of simple elegance to your tree or to top off a gift. All of the supplies can be purchased at most craft stores.
Cute As A Button Craft 4
First, gather some clear glass ball ornaments. I selected the small and medium size.
Take off the metal top and drop a few tiny crystals into the ornament. I like Swarovski, they really sparkle.
Add some pearls of various sizes and colors. These pearls are from vintage necklaces that I found literally hanging by a thread in a thrift store.
Get out your stash of small white and pearl buttons. I added about 50 buttons to each glass ball.
Fill the glass ball to a level that you love. Next, separate the metal top from the wire hanger. Take a large button and slide the wire hanger into two of the holes. Replace the new button top on the glass ornament and secure with a dab of hot glue.
Add a scrap of lace around the top of the glass ball.
Hang your ornament near a light and watch the crystals sparkle.
Next Friday and Tuesday I will be taking my finals. I am currently finishing up several projects and term papers. Please hang in there with me and I will soon be back to respond to each and every one of your comments.
Go make a beautiful mess and be blessed.
Laura, this is just so precious! Hope you have a great week.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉

Another beautiful idea. My MIL sent Nalley some tiny gold buttons from his dad's Police uniforms from the '60's. This might be a way to preseve them for future generations! Thanks.
simply lovely..thanks for sharing your creativity with us..
Now that I like!

That looks really pretty–I like the way you replaced the top with a button, too! Very creative. I did some for my last craft show with tinsel pompoms, tiny bows, etc–they were a big hit!
I really like that Laura! I used to spend hours glueing Swavorski Crystals on my daughters skating dresses. This is such a neat idea, thanks for sharing and GOOD LUCK WITH FINALS! cindy
Very pretty. Love the use of white and “sparkle”.
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely idea, it's enchanting!

Very lovely and delicate looking ornaments!
Another beautiful idea, Laura! I like how you wrote that – to make a beautiful mess and be blessed. 🙂
Looks like you're having a lovely December. It's going by fast isn't it?
Ca-yute! Loving these posts!

Those are so cute! I love the lace tied at the top. Thanks for stopping by and leaving such a sweet comment 🙂
Wow! You did a great job on all these. I'm a button freak so this last one is especially up my alley.
Thanks for commenting on my blog, regarding which I wanted to say I did make a brooch using that technique and also a tree topper (with multiple layers of a larger size and a pipe cleaner attached to the back for twisting onto the tree).
I love this one! I have sooo many buttons that it's always fun to see new creative ways to use them.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, and thanks for sharing.
HI, Laura, both your projects are just adorable! Love the vintage tree topper and these glass balls filled with sparkly goodies, so pretty. Thanks for coming by & letting me know. Love them all!
Laura, love these. Have you seen the clear ornaments filled with some sand and a small seashell or two?
you left out the best ornament ever!!!
Liking this one too. So cute, and you could fill it with so many items!
Oh my gosh!!!! I just love this!!!
m ^..^
I'm loving it. I've just discovered the idea of filling clear glass ornaments a few days ago, and I'm a total fan!!
Wow! You have made a lot of crafty christmas decorations! I love, no I adore the tree crown! Thank god for the inspiration Anthropology provides.
Such a creative idea! It looks so easy too. Thanks for sharing.
Laura,
What a pretty and clever idea. I love things that you can make yourself. They are the best.

Love the vintagy feel! So pretty!

All of your projects are so pretty. I hope to one day get a big box of buttons that were my grandmothers. I would never glue any of those vintage treasures, but putting them in clear bulbs would be beautiful and give them a place of honor. Great ideas. Oh, and I like your Anthro topper better than Anthros!
Thanks for sharing all those fun craft ideas!
What a clever idea. Very pretty and classy looking.
Hugs,
Joanne
Good luck on those finals! I know you will do well.
Love this craft idea! Looks like a great one to put my own twist to!!
