Christmas button angels (instead of fairies)



Here's a set of Christmas button angels made
with Altered Pages images.
I had fun adding some beads and embellishments.



Had to dig into my stash of vintage buttons, which is
always a good time. There's something very satisfying
about pawing through a big pile of shiny buttons!
These will make pretty little gifts, interesting ornaments,
or even some really nice gift tags. These two are my
favorites, but daughter likes these:



If you've never made a button fairy, and decide to do so,
be very, very careful--it is extremely addictive! There
are plenty of button fairies out there, but
Nancy has made some of my favorites, adding
flower petals to the wings. So pretty!

Yikes, I need to do the September Spread the
Love. Sorry, I'm definitely behind!!

Love you button angels. Did a button fairy swap earlier in the year, they are addicting and fun. Did a few for Christmas last year too. Really like yours!

Love the button angels-so neat. I've never seen anything like it. I don't think I could pick a favorite-I like them all!
