Gradient Button Necklace
I think these are the classiest button necklaces I've ever seen. I found the tutorial at Craftlog.
Materials
Instructions
Necklace can be worn as is by tying the embroidery thread around neck
Lengths of chain can also be tied to each side of the necklace if desired.

Advent Calendar
Bubbly funk has instructions on how to make this advent calendar using old matchboxes!

It's incredibly clever and I think it has many other uses.
For example, I'm sure my daughter would love one of these, in pink, to hold her jewelry.
And what can you do with those ubiquitous styrofoam peanuts?
This interesting diy idea comes from mollie dash and her boyfriend, Bryan. Bryan decided to make this chandelier from packing peanuts- something some of us accumulate more often than we’d like.
Rather than throw them away (only if they’re non-recyclable, of course), why not turn them into something like this?

ReplyDeleteI love that button necklace and coincidentally have similar ones about to be listed in my shop, in colors. I make a lot of button jewelry (have sold most of it & have to make more) and am addicted to them. It's great to see many other sellers of buttons on Etsy! Thanks for posting it. :)
