Kim says: "When I was given the button assignment, I decided to try & think outside of the box for this one. I really wanted to steer away from traditional scrapbooking uses for the buttons & look at other crafty ideas. My love of sewing & fashion influenced the project I settled on, I hope you find it inspirational.
Before I attached the inner canvas lining, I stitched a variety of the Glitter buttons to the Firefly Festival Fabric panels adding dimension & a bit of glam.
The little hanging charm is also simply: buttons threaded double onto twine, then attached with a hook, it could also double as a key chain. I was surprised after giving buttons some thought, that there are a multitude of cute ideas I had never even tried."
This looks incredible and absolutely adorable! I love Kim's idea for making the hanging chain... too cool! Wouldn't you love a button purse just like this?
This is adorable!
