Adorable Little Ornament – Fifteen MINUTE Friday

Welcome to the Black Friday Cyber Sale, and to the Linky Party organized by our designer Laura Kelly using  Sculpey Polymer Clay products and her line of our buttons to create “Adorable Little Ornaments”.

For today’s project, I am sharing as a part of a linky party featuring adorable little ornaments made from clay and buttons.  Lots of designers and bloggers were sent Sculpey products and Laura Kelly’s buttons to create these adorable little ornaments.

How to make the button ornament

I used Sculpey clay in red and white to form a stocking, molding with my fingers.  When I was done stuck then end of an 8 inch long piece of wire into the top in two places to create holes that I would later need.  While the stocking was baking (following the directions in the packaging) I twisted the wire up and added a few Radical Red and Apple Green buttons along with my signature ribbon (black with white polka dots).

When the stocking was out of the oven and cooled, I added the wire using a tad bit of super glue on each end into the holes.  Wah-lah…an adorable little ornament.

Internet Inspiration – A splendid Assemblage

Here at Buttons Galore we like crafts of all types and of all skill sets.  We especially like seeing buttons incorporated into projects that have a “green” flair to them.  The trendy word now is called UPCYCLED.  We like upcycled, recycled, repurposed, eco friendly or green crafts.  We find inspiration on Pinterest via readers sending us links.  If you have a project you want to share please email us or leave a message on one of our posts.  While surfing the net we found this blogger, A Splendid Assembledge, has a great project that would work great with our Big ol’ buttons.  Heck, it would work great with almost any of our buttons.  For a tutorial check out her blog.  While you are there you should check out all her tutorials.  She has some really fantastic ones.

Haberdashery Heart

Haberdashery Button Heart by Laura Bray

I love, love, love the Haberdashery Trim Collage Kits by Buttons Galore and More.  Just the word “haberdashery” makes me feel all happy & old-fashioned.  And the goodies included in the kit?  Well, once I started brainstorming for a Valentine project, I couldn’t stop myself.  There are a million ways to use this kit.  You could even buy a few, invite your friends over for a Valentine tea, and make these hearts. They’ll make great Valentine’s Day gifts, but would also be sweet in a baby’s nursery.

Haberdashery Hearts

Supplies:

Instructions:

  1. Paint the wood heart with pink and green paint.  Allow to dry for one hour.
  2. Glue buttons and embellishments from the Trim Collage Kit onto the wood heart.
  3. Glue a length of ribbon to the back of the heart for a hanger.
