More button crafts

January 9, 2007 by Barbara H.

After doing the button wreath a few days ago, I decided to search around for other cute button craft projects.

Here is a button clock from Martha Stewart (also includes some interesting history of buttons).

Mosaic button pots for kids to do.

Another clock, a hat, and several other decorative touches with buttons.

A button bouquet that looks like it was in a Dr. Suess book.

Button necklace.

Cute Christmas tree ornament.

Another cute Christmas tree ornament.

A snowman button pin (I did make this a few years ago. very cute!)

I want to do the ornaments next Christmas. Other than that I don’t know if I’d do any of these — though the button clock would be neat for a sewing/craft room, if I ever have one of those. But it has been inspiring to look at these.

Update: sorry about all the broken links — some sites weren’t up any more, some changed urls (Martha Stewarts’ site is awful about that!) I think they are all fixed now. Let me know if one doesn’t work for you.

I statred manufacturing Id Glow buttons and now have started selling the to button retailers and donating them to childrens workshops. Since I make them from “scratch”, they have a bright glow and a glow time. Its probably one on the neatest projects I have ever done.

Something really cool to do with extra buttons is push pins for a bulletin board. you just hot glue them to push pins, then there is a variety and excitement to your bulletin board

  I am so sorry about the shoulder! Hope it’s feeling better now.
  
  No, I am sorry, I am not good at flower arranging at all. I worked for a florist part time for a while and could do corsages and bud vases, but I never could get a good feel for the bigger arrangements. I hope you find some good ideas!
