Button Projects


This week I've been working on a few gift projects and finished  two  with buttons.  You already know how much I love buttons and finding new ways to use them is always exciting!


The   pin measures 1" 1/2 X 2" and is covered with a combination of old and new buttons. There are a few Bakelite buttons included. I bought the base at an estate sale.  It is an oval frame that was probably made to house needlework.


I covered a 5" X 6" frame with an assortment of beautiful gold buttons.  I love the way it turned out and don't think it really needs a picture.

  1. OMGolly ! This is awesome. I could do this. Do you know how valuable those Bakelite buttons are? Love your creation & no pics for sure ... but you could tuck a demitasse saucer or something small in the middle on a wall. Really impressed.
    Merry Christmas

  2. Cute ideas, the frame definitely doesn't need a picture, very nice by itself!

  4. Any chance you would share how you made the frame? or Make something for someone else who has a lot of buttons, but no talent?

  6. I "inherited" tons of buttons from Grandma. I think I will make the frame and put a pic of her in it for each of the great grandkids!
