Description:

Homemade ornaments really make your Christmas tree special. And ornaments are a great way to use up leftover and single buttons you have floating around your craft stash.

Make a festive ornament for your partner's tree. Any medium--fabric, felt, wood, resin, ribbon, cardstock--is acceptable. It's sender's choice. The only requirement is that you incorporate at least one button into your design--and more if you can! This is a crafty swap so please only join if you plan on crafting your ornament.

Please do you best work and only send an ornament that you'd be willing to hang on your own tree. Note: you will need to use a padded envelope to prevent button breakage in the mail. That is a required part of this swap.

4.85 rating or better please. No recent ones or threes. USA only.

Thanks!

I will allow first timers because you have to start somewhere. :) I will angel for this swap. Also, if you're interested in angeling, please let me know.

I just set up a public Flickr group where you can post your ideas, the ornaments you've made, the ornaments you might want to send--both successes and the not-so-good ornaments. :) The URL is at the top of the swap info box.

I posted a bunch of photos of things I've made this year. Some with buttons and some without. Please feel free to add photos, especially newbies.

ok partners are assigned. Please give it your best and send on time! Please consider posting photos of your ornaments in the Flickr group. I love to see all the great ideas. Hopefully everyone sends on time but if you'd like to angel, let me know. Otherwise I'll do it myself.

Hooray to all the early senders! Half of you have already sent. That's great!!! I love when I get an early swap package. :)

Hi friends! It's deadline day so I hope you're all either on your way to the post office or just returning! If there is some issue with you sending on time or if your partner hasn't sent and you haven't heard a peep, please message me this weekend. Because I want everyone to receive an ornament before Christmas, I think I'll send out any "angel" ornaments on Monday. I am feeling confident I won't have to angel but please let me know....

Everyone has clicked "sent." Great news. Let's hope everything arrives before Christmas!

I am loving the pics! Everyone made such beautiful ornaments. I can honestly say I would have loved to received any of the ones posted so far!

Is everyone receiving and rating? I kind of snooped around on profiles and saw many ratings with hearts for this swap. That's good news.
