Decorate a purse with colourful buttons

Step 2 The Buttons

I sourced all my buttons from the females in my family, mum, auntie, grandmother. My initial plan was to produce a purely random arrangement on the purse, hence I collected all sizes and shapes of buttons, and the more unique the better I thought. I stayed away from dark colours and opted for brighter colours as it would contrast the black. All types of buttons are usable, flat, sew-though and even shank buttons.

The next step will show how to prepare the shank buttons.
