Button Creations

Seems as though I haven't been doing much painting lately, I thought I'd share some photos of button jewellery I've been making.

I have been using my scrap fabric and self-covering buttons. I've been making little button earrings, rings, hair clips, bobby pins, magnets and whatever else I can stick one too haha!! It's a lot of fun and very easy, I especially enjoy doing this as I can actually complete it within the afternoon sleep period for Will & Hannah!!

I was doing a lot of sewing for a while, but by the time I cut out my fabric, ironed & pinned the kids were awake again and I kept getting half finished projects. So this 'button craft' is what I've moved onto, quick, easy & fun. Oh & I can also wear a few of the things I create & gift to kids for presents :)

Lots of photos posted below of button creations, enjoy x

HAIR CLIPS
 Hair clips (bobby pins & snap clips)
 
 
 
 
EARRINGS
At the top are sets of earrings and bottom right is earring & bobby pin sets. 
 
 
 
RINGS
I have used a variety of things for the rings, self-covered buttons I've put together and even some glass domes and magazine cutouts and a metal button I've clipped the back off.




MAGNETS
 
 
 
 
NECKLACES
 
 
 

I think that's about it. Do you have any ideas of what else I could make with the buttons? Still plenty there ;)

Lastly, I think this would be one of my favourite sets -
I love the geo shapes and colour of the fabric. Fabric was given to me by a friend and it's become one of my faves for earrings!


Hope you're having a great Tuesday, until next time,
