I find this ring so beautiful: just a little wire and two buttons.
Great!
It matches well the button necklace or the button collage necklace and to tell the truth I also like the other rings…
Again I don’t know where to begin ;-)

Even if the ‘pendants’ don’t really match my liking, I find the idea and the workmanship really great!
In fact she only wrotes as ‘instruction’: “I don’t really have a process on
how I make them it’s a trial and error thing.”
That means that it is my part to realize something to my liking – as necklace, as earring, as pin and so on ;-))
And I have already some tutorials for buttons ;-)

Beaded Spiral Button

While surfing I found a beautiful spiral button.
I have to give it a try ;-)

If I don’t like it, I can still come back to my own spiral beads ;-)
Or to the folded spirals.
Or the crochet spiral ;-)))

Cheese Buttons

I presented the Galathite (milk stone) already, now i found something similar: cheese buttons.
This way you can skip the preparation of the milk.
In the instruction they compare several sorts of cheeses and try whether the buttons can really be used.

Perhaps I will buy some extra-Edam next time in the supermarket ;-)

Isn’t it great?
Up until now I thought that you have to use really beautiful, extraordinary buttons for button crafts, but if you make the button coaster common buttons are enough and it looks wonderful even so!

My list grows longer ;-)

Sweater Scarf

Once I found an instruction on how to make a scarf from felted old sweaters but the website doesn’t exist anymore.
The photo is from the website, click to enlarge.

 

That’s how they did it:

  1. Wash sweaters from 100% wool (mohair works fine, too) with some laundry detergent.
  2. Felt in dryer.
    Felting makes the fabric so dense that it doesn’t unravel when cut.
  3. Cut stripes from the sweaters in the width you want the scarf to be.
    The lengths will vary depending on the part of the sweater where you cut the piece.
    In the instruction they used mainly the arms.
  4. Eventually simply sew the pieces together, whether with a sewing machine or by hand.
    The seam can be used as a decorating element.
  5. The scarf can subsequently be embellished: with buttons, felted flowers, beads, pom-poms, fringes, embroidery and so on.

In fact I would like to have a cardigan-kind garment made with this technique, no scarf.
Therefore I went to several second hand stores to look for wool sweaters but found mostly sweaters from artificial material which don’t felt.
But I stay tuned ;-)
