Button Floozies

I love these buttons. They remind of a times gone by. They have a very delicate appearance and can be used on some many different items. Had fun taking the photograph, it is tricky taking pictures of pale buttons! x

I saw and was inspired by a button brooch featured on Button Floozies about a year ago. Can not find the post again but if you now it was you thank you for the inspiration and leave a comment here so everyone else knows who it was. I added a small crochet flower as the base of my brooch and the large pink button is vintage. My Mum gave it to me years ago along with a box of other buttons. The wire was the tricky bit but once it was all together it looked really good. I am going to try some other colour combinations next. xx

There's nothing quite like having a little Button Bling in the button box. Here are just a few of the vintage, sparkling gems in mine. If you're a Floozie, I'm sure you have a few, too. I'd love to see what yours look like! Who's next? I hope you'll visit Brynwood Needleworks to see what's new in the studio this week.

I blogged today about a class I took on black glass buttons; if you're interested, please come on over and take a look !

The left and far right buttons are vintage.The center one is a crystal style new on e . I just made up a few cell phone cozies. One of the best parts about making them is getting to choose from my vast button collection ; ) I actually didn't go with any of those... I went with a vintage orange one! You can read more about them here & here : ) They're also listed in my shop Have a great weekend!!

I have another great tutorial to share with you today. This one is for a button-embellished, heart-shaped pin created by the beautiful Simone at Beach Vintage . It's called "My Heart Exposed" Brooch. She'll take you through all the steps to create a pin of your very own. Click here to see how it's done. I hope you'll also visit me - Donna at Brynwood Needleworks. I'm celebrating with a giveaway.

My friend, Michele at Michele Made Me has a great tutorial on making covered buttons. They're really beautiful, and all of us Floozies can probably stay out of a lot of trouble by making our own! I'm sharing it with her permission. Please pop over, check out her tutorial, her blog and please be sure to tell her I sent you over to visit. I always love visitors, too, and am currently hosting a giveaway at Brynwood Needleworks , so come on over and enter when you get a chance!
