Buttons

I don't know what it is about buttons, vintage ones especially, but I just love them. I bought a large tin of old buttons a while back on craigslist. Yes, a random item to search for, but I did and found them!

I've used the buttons to dress up cards, added them to clothing and even made button rings. (Pictured) Other times, I just need creative inspiration or a smile so I'll rummage the tin and there I often find a new idea and a grin. Buttons, you are delightful!

BUTTON RING HOW TO

Materials:
Buttons
Embroidery Thread
Needle
Elastic

What to do:
Cut a length of elastic that fits around the button owners finger snug, but not cut off circulation snug.

Sew the end of the elastic together, forming a circular ring.

Choose your buttons. This is the fun part! You can stack multiples or grace the elastic with a single button.

Next. Using embroidery thread, hand sew the button to the elastic.

Put on and enjoy!

Button rings are guaranteed to bring a smile to your melon.
