The following tags were made from old business cards, with blue paper glued to the front, and the edges dusted with sparkly snow flurries. Three white buttons form the snowman, a little scrap of black felt for his hat, and bakers twine for his scarf.
Now I need your help before I make more, do you like the tag with twigs arms drawn or not?
Next I used some paper tags with aluminium rims to paint some snowman faces. I really liked how these ones turned out
Last, but not least, I have been using snowman buttons on jumbo paperclips for bookmarks. Really sweet!
Do you ever get a craze on one thing, and it takes over your creativity for awhile?

I like the arms drawn in. If you have a lot of buttons I would choose the two hole buttons for the head. This makes them look more like eyes.
ReplyDeleteCute idea's today.
I like the arms! I also think that 2 hole buttons are better for the head, and the lower body button needs to be bigger - but I like round fat snowmen!
ReplyDeleteI love these snowmen! Great craft ideas for mommy and kids!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, these are cute! I love snowmen!
ReplyDeleteI like with AND without arms. Why not do some of both for a little variety?
I think they are both cute and I hadn't noticed the holes in the buttons until someone brought them up.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite are the tags. They are adorable.
OMG!! i love these!! they are so sweet. i prefer the one with the arms, and i love the paper clip too!!

Well hello CCC all the way over there in downunder. Love your snowmen; especially the little tags. Hope they are keeping you happy and smiling like they are me. Simplicity is inspiration from buttons to beads we make them grow. Blessings Terri www.morningdewdrops.typepad.com
