We {love} Buttons – craft ideas with buttons
Wow, third button post in two days – I certainly love buttons 🙂
Recently, I got some really awesome retro ones from the boyfriend’s grandma. They were so pretty that I had to take pictures of them:
I especially love these. The black/white would be great on a b/w dress.
Cute for shorts or a white/dark blue blouse.
Definitely my favorites! They are quite heavyweighted, but the anchors are just adorable.
I’ve so many of these leather buttons but I am still searching for a project idea. Any ideas?
For a detachable collar or necklace?
I love these, especially the creme coloured ones. Unfortunately, I have only two of them…
I have so many lovely gold/silver buttons and had a look around for some craft/sewing inspiration. This is what I found:
Project Inspirations for Gold/Silver Buttons
I especially love the last one. (I have exactly the same buttons!!)
I also have loads of buttons in different sizes and colours. Here’s some inspiration I found:
Project Inspirations for Coloured Buttons
Hapa’s Eco Renewals has refashioned a pair of blue pants. Nice idea for all the colourful buttons I have left.
There will be definitely some button projects coming up in the near future 😉
Here are some ideas I’ve done so far:
– refashioning clothes with buttons
– Zipper and Buttons Bracelet
– Buttons and Beads Braclet
When I went through my button collection on the weekend, one of the things that annoyed me was that I so often don’t use pretty buttons for my crafting or sewing projects just because I didn’t know I would have had enough matching ones.
When there were no more than 2-3 matching buttons I just used a paperclip to keep them together. Very simple, very quick. Now with just one quick glance I can make out whether there are enough matching buttons whenever I need some for a project.
