Button Love!

I wouldn’t normally take myself for a button person, but after I started making my own out of clay, felt and screen printed fabric I was hooked. Now I search thrift stores for the coolest buttons to fill out the collection.

my favorite of all my current makes~the button bracelet. All my buttons come together in one fun grouping that are selling like hot-tamales this season. I thoroughly enjoy the process of choosing and tying these little bundles of delight.

You may remember my foray into wallet making. I started with Vinyl (read about it here) then graduated into sewing felted wool sweaters. Pictured at left is one of my wallets with a sculpted porcelain button. I’ll have this and others for sale at the upcoming Crafteria at Frances. Cyndi and I were thrilled to be of of the 40 chosen out of the 150+ makers who applied. It takes place the First Friday in December~
Friday, December 3rd, 6-9pm. Below is the close up…

Halloween craft idea #20: hot glue spiderweb for the window

Before we get to the treat~a short commercial break (could this be called a trick??). 26 Letters is starting something new! Come to the launch party this Saturday to find out what it is~or wait til Monday! Here are the details and directions:

Hope to see you there! Now, back to our regularly scheduled program:

Make a spiderweb by drawing them with a hot glue gun on a Bazzill Spat mat. Once cool, they easily peel off and attach to a window. You can be sure I’ll be making these into icicles in December.
