Button Jewlery!

This black and white button jewlery set is very similar to the green and blue set that I previously made. The necklace is designed a little differently and it is minus a ring, but other than that the two sets are nearly identical, save for the differences in color of course.

I've got a few more button sketches so expect to see some more button work in the next few weeks (I hope). I'm back to work/school next week...

Buttons = Love

I love Law & Order. Always have, always will. I've always wanted an L&O T-shirt but never felt like spending $20 on one. My first thought was to iron on the logo, but then the other day I was playing with my button collection and had a thought. So I took a good long look at the logo on my computer and assigned each letter/symbol a color. Then I laid on the buttons on the back of a notebook first.

I then transferred the design over to the tank top. I put tacky glue on the back of each button and placed it on tank top. After this was done, I went back and hand-sewed each button into place and washed off the tacky glue.

The result:



And as always... an action shot

Button Choker

Simple red, button chocker made with red buttons and red cross-stitch floss. Wore it work and my 6th grade students just loved it.

I've got more work to share but am behind on taking pictures, so expect to see some more up in the next few days.

Sadly, I don't have a close up or action shot of the bracelet. I was having a heck of a time getting it on at the time.

Teacher Charms

I saw these buttons at Michael's and used them to create a teacher charm bracelet.
