button button who’s got the button?

my weekend project No photos today, but we did do a little shopping at the craft stores in town! I picked up some cloth button forms and a pack of coordinating quilter’s fabric (half price!) to make these cute fabric-covered thumbtacks. I found the tutorial from How About Orange via Design Sponge. I love projects like this because they’re relatively inexpensive, simple, quick, and the results speak for themselves! If, unlike me, you’re sitting on bags of scrap fabric, this would be a fun way to use it up. And I have plenty left over to collage or make more buttons. I think next time I’m going to put magnets on the back.

    Cuteness! I saw the same tutorial and thought, do I really need to start another project? Yeah, I might!

    If it’s any consolation, Cicada, these took me an hour to make, tops. And you could easily break it into 15-minute pieces, and I am not crafty-inclined, so I work slow! ;)

    Oh how cute! Sadly, I usually manage to stuff up any fabric related crafty project I attempt. BUT, maybe this is something even I could grasp. Maybe… ;)
