The snowman is two small polystyrene balls stuck together with a cocktail stick spike between body and head. The balls were then covered with PVA glue and sprinkled with white flock.
Once the flock was dry the tiny black gems were stuck on for his eyes and a really tiny nail art gem for his nose. His mouth is a series of small dots made with a permanent marker.
His hat is made using the top from a lip balm stuck on to a small black card disc and coloured with a permanent marker. His scarf is a small length of blue fancy knitting yarn.
He is stuck to a card base that has been covered with flock and clear glitter and he is backed by a small piece of snowflake scrapbook paper.
The angel is made using two beads, two finding and a post. The dress is a flower trumpet and the head is a pink bead, the wings are one little finding and the tiny cap at the top is another.
They have all been threaded on to the post, once threaded the end has been turned over to make a loop so it can be hung ( would make good seasonal earrings) or it can be bent over to look like a halo.
Please have a look at J&C Beads, they have lots of nice goodies that can be used to make all manner of tiny ornaments.
Don't forget this box is available from J&C Creations as an MDF flat pack kit for you to decorate and assemble.

I just loved the idea of using up all those random buttons I have lying around. I always save them off new clothing, but never use them. Then like most crafters I can also never part with them during a clearout as there may be a chance that one day I may need them...
