a blog of buttons!

literally spent all day making button bracelets.  i just took a shower about half an hour ago (about 9:00 pm, maybe a little earlier).  just wanted to show you some of them so i don't crowd up my facebook with pictures of buttons.  :3

this bracelet is made out of really old buttons.  they all came from my grandpas shirts and some were even collected by my great grandmother.  i'm glad we finally found a use for them instead of just letting them sit around.  only about 5 buttons on this bracelet are new.

i'm sending this one to a friend who may or may not read this blog so it may or may not be a surprise!  she's having her first baby and the room is done in teal and purple.  it's so awesome!  when i saw how many of these colors we had i couldn't not make one!  

the big teal button!

a cluster of little buttons and two little purple hearts!  i really like this one!  :D

yes, these are really ugly on the inside if you use colored thread.  this is my night sky bracelet to use up the last couple of star beads i had left.

i think it's pretty cool, anyway.

oh and also you can wear them!  i've been so busy sewing them i kinda forgot about them being, ya know, fashion accessories and not just piles and piles of buttons.

also, the word 'button' sounds really funny to me now.  i bet i've said button a million times today.  for realsies.

peace.
