I have blogged the three button holes before , but thought it was quite fitting for this weeks theme. The white buttons do look like they have a hole missing where as the blue buttons seem they were made that way. I still think maybe that the white ones are a bit mutated.

How beautiful is this soap dish/packaging. It was my granny’s. Funny how my Uncle Craig bribed me to make him a cup of tea just so i could hold this delight in my hand. But now its mine… Ha ha ha ha…. Im keeping it forever just the way it is. Never taking the buttons out. EVA.

So iv been so excited to try out an idea i had last week. This is it a button covered Christmas ball. YAY!!!! Super easy and quick  to make, i think the whole thing took me half and hour, if that. All you need is; one polystyrene ball +4 x berry pin wheels ( different sizes if you can get) + various sized buttons. Then all you do is pin in each button into the ball, layering smaller buttons on top to cover up the gaps. If you really want to secure the buttons on to the ball then i suggest gluing the buttons first ( but just make sure you get the right craft glue, other wise normal glue will just eat up the polystyrene) …. and that’s it! Easy as eating pie. Another tip: if you are making other coloured balls like red or green i would suggest painting the polystyrene ball a base colour so you don’t see the white of the polystyrene sticking through the gaps. Hope you enjoy making these. I would love you to send photos if you have made you own. Over and out, button love x x x

These are my biggest white buttons in my sea of buttons. The biggest button on the bottom is at least about 6cm in diameter. Not all that scary for a great white…. Ha and that’s me analogising .

these are some yummy new black and white ones i have found.

If i told you how many buttons there were in each packet below this post wouldn’t be much fun. So if you can guess the correct amount of black buttons and white buttons in each packet? ill send you some of my own vintage buttons from my collection that you have seen in previous posts, plus one of the button cards below. Which i will only reveal tomorrow -  only because guessing is fun … ha!!!!! make a comment below to win. Good luck . PS: Angie and Beatrus aren’t allowed to guess because they know the answer.

These are all my white buttons, pretty hey? I got totally “art” on taking photos of them, so this is quite an epic post. Anyway hope you are having an awesome Saturday.
