Directions:
1. I found this unfinished snowflake and thought I needed to make a cool decoration for winter or the holidays!
2. I painted the snowflake white.
3. I pulled out my button stash.
4. I pulled out white and ivory buttons.
5. Some of the buttons still had thread in them, so I had to go through and clean them up. I bought them at an estate sale.
6. I dipped the individual buttons into glue and placed them on the snowflake.
7. Here is the first layer. You will see that there are spaces between the buttons. I added a second layer where there were large spaces.
8. Because there were still spaces, I used the Dimensional Magic to fill them in and sprinkled fine glitter over it.
You can see the difference between the lower and upper part.
9. I tapped the snowflake on the table and the excess glitter came off.
I painted the edges with ivory and pearl white paint, just so it blended better with the buttons.
Here it is all finished and it would look great on a shelf of hanging on the wall!
