Fall in Love with Buttons - my swap....

Today I'm sharing

the tin that I made for my

swap partner DeeDee...

 I basically used Mod Podge for everything...

I tried to get some Fall like colors with the oranges, brown and green.

 I decided to distress the bottom to give it some age...

this was a 3 part process...

 I lined the inside with

this alphabet fabric from

The French General

and

filled it with as many buttons as I could fit!

 I decided to throw in some extras because I know

only other crafters can really appreciate these types of things..

A spool decoupaged, some brass charms and a ribbon necklace,

and I made the ring with the vintage red-glass button in the center.

I also gave her a few other Fall/Winter themed goodies...

and packed them all up

like so

I had so much fun wrapping it all

and trying to make it feel special for her.

I was glad to know that she received

it after going through a rough week

and it was a bit of a bright spot for her.

Now that the fall swap is over...

onwards towards the Christmas Swap!

Peek in at

Button Floozies 

to get info on the new swap and to see some of the other

tins that were created!

 

Happy Thursday Ya'll!
