Etceteras: vintage button snowflake

I was invited to a Snowflake Party. Now, I know for most you that won’t sound strange but many people will be wondering what the heck a Snowflake Party is. For instance, when I told my family that dinner would be a bit delayed because I was finishing my project for a Snowflake Party – they gave me that blank look that I often get…   A Snowflake Party is basically a group of bloggers and a hostess all creating a themed project and linking them up to showcase them.




I was invited to the party awhile ago and between the holidays, back to school and a flurry of other activities, I was poised to let the hostess know that I wouldn’t be able to participate. But just as the party deadline was approaching, I found a lone wooden snowflake in my supplies that didn’t get put to use over the holidays. It looked so sad and bare I decided to try to decorate it for the party.



My first instinct was a snowy or glittery snowflake but I think I did myself in with sparkly things over the holidays. I decided to use some of my vintage buttons and try for a different twist on a snowflake.


The buttons are glued to the wood base and layered to cover up any bare spots. And, just like snowflakes, each button is unique and different.

I added a loop of vintage seam binding so I could hang up my snowflake.

I’m so glad that I didn’t cancel on this party. It pushed me to create something that I wouldn’t normally have thought of.

And because it’s a Snowflake Party, here are the other wonderful bloggers’ creations.

Thank you to Carolina from Always Expect Moore for hosting this fun party.

And thank you for stopping by today.
