Button Flower Bouquet

Make sure you hop over to my Blue Velvet Chair blog if you like this project and want to see more interesting repurpose designs.

Even though the idea has been around a while, I felt absolutely giddy when I picked up the bunch of button flowers I put together this weekend. There is something so deliciously tactile about these little peeps of eye candy - so I'm going to provide a quick how-to in the hopes that you might also be inspired to pull out your buttons. I promise, even a few will make you smile!

Step 1: Collect Your Buttons

First things first, you'll need buttons! I had some tucked away from my button mosaic mirror project, but a recent thrift store sprint really boosted my supplies.

I love these!! I had a box of button that were my sisters and I was going to throw them out - I went digging and found them and started making them. You're right! They do make you giddy!! They just put a smile on your face, everytime you look at them - Going to start making them for Christmas gifts. Thank you for coming up with that!!!!
