Playing around with buttons

I have so many beautiful buttons, some from my grandmother others I have collected from opp shops or bought at clearing sales. They are so wasted in my 100's of jars on the shelf so I have been experimenting with glue and making some jewellery. I know there are so many people making button jewellery but I dont think I could sell mine. I made these 3 brooches this week and have found that even though the glue dries clear you can still see it if you are a little sloppy. The green one is my favourite so far and no glue mess! I have a ring drying at the moment, and would like to make a few pendants. I am also going to do some stichery wall hangings with lots of vintage flower buttons.

  4. So cute! I wish my grandmothers had kept jars of old buttons so I didn't have to scour op shops to fuel my obsession with buttons, LOL.
