Psssssst ? need a quick fix??



I am back at work tomorrow so thought I'd get in some absolute last minute crafting and these are the easiest and funnest things to make.

You will need some ring findings


Some embroidery thread or dental floss (dental floss is great stuff to sew with- super strong)

and a few buttons.



If you choose to stack your buttons, sew them together first but not too much or the holes will get to small for you to pass your needle through.


Then you just sew them to the mesh plate and voila..................fashion awesomeness !!!


They won't last forever and your finger may turn green but who cares, they're buttons.
Edited to add: Thanks for the sweet comments this is where I got my ring findings ,

  45. Being a lover & collector of buttons I adore these and especially like the quick fix idea unfortunately I can't wear them due to an allergic reaction which would not only see my fingers turn green but more than likely they'd drop off.
