Button Jewelry

Here are some pictures of necklaces made of buttons that could inspire you. Our customer Jackie makes these one of a kind pieces from vintage and new interesting buttons. It all started when she inherited a rather large button collection from a former button sales person. Left to think of ideas what to do with them she realized the buttons would make amazing jewelry. Recently, Jackie sold most of her neckpieces to a local designer boutique. Look for these pieces to set a coming trend next summer. Have you looked at your buttons lately?

Gift Idea

Gift Idea

Everybody is busy, everybody keeps a schedule, even if only a light version. Take a regular schedule and wrap it in leather. You can glue it onto the schedule and decorate it with beads, beads on string, beads on a pin or beads on wire. Any fabric will do and you can customize everything. Bows, hearts, cut outs and flowers give it a personal touch. Finish it by adding a snap or closure. Do you know a writer? Would you like to inspire a friend or family member to write? This is a wonderful idea for a personalized journal/ diary for gals or boys age 11and up.

Happy beading
