bouton de fleurs
Happy, cheery button flowers :) Ooo la la, these little guys are so fun to make!
My last crop is just about gone, so it was time to replinish. I work on these at night while watching trash TV. This is the perfect project for that.
These make cute little gifts and are the perfect addition to my purse orders. With Easter and Mother's Day on the horizon I figure I had better get busy on them now. You know how it goes, you blink and a month has passed...
P.S. I'm pretty sure these little pretties quickly transitioned me from February Funk to Spring Fever! Yep, spring is happening all around me - thank goodness!!!!
Those are so cute and happy and springy!! The perfect accessory for an Easter bonnet!

They put a smile on my face, such happy little things you can't help it. What a great idea!
Posted by: cindy | February 28, 2008 at 10:59 AM
I'd like to second (or is it throd) the question... what kind of glue do you use? I find it difficult to get plastic to stick together with most glues.
They are very cute!
Posted by: Kathleen C. | February 28, 2008 at 11:50 AM
What is the glue that you use.....they are terrrrific......

Love, love the button flower pins! Do you just use hot glue? Also, where do you find those fabulous buttons? I'v eseen small bags in craft stores and scrapbook stores, but they seem so $$$$. Do I just need to suck it up and spend the money?
Posted by: Jenny B. | March 02, 2008 at 09:04 AM
I love them!
Posted by: Tizzalicious | March 02, 2008 at 02:54 PM
