A new addition to my button addiction !!!!


My lovely friend was out shopping the other day and spotted these button covering kits . Knowing my addiction to buttons she bought me a couple of packets . My friend who doesn't sew or even blog (what the heck is wrong with some people?) just knew I would like them . I haven't covered buttons for a long time and now I can't stop thinking of all the things that NEED a covered button or two . What do you use them for ?

    Well that looks like fun. Must get some for the next batch of bags. Where else would I use them on the dolls clothes or just to decorate a doll or other softie. Enjoy

    A button added here or there can make the world of difference to an item.
    It just makes it Pop!

    How fun!!! I use them on my totes and make a cloth hook and it wraps around the button. If you would like some antique buttons (all browns), just send me your address and I will send a few to you. If you want to know what they look like, go to www.bejeweledquilts.blogspot.com and look on that camera bag I made. I am so mad, I forgot what they are made of....

    I have a hundred of those buttons, all sizes. Never thought to use them except for doll joints. Yours are very pretty! Nice friend you have.

    I have no idea how to use those, infact I have never seen them before. I don't think I should try them because I already have an addiction! Show us what you use them for please.

    Those are lovely cutesy buttons! I love using buttons as accents for softies/dolls, coin purse enclosures, on embroidery work, and wooden crafts!
