On a stroll though Etsy.com this morning, lo and behold. I adore these. I think maybe, I could even make them, all thumbs that I am. Of course mine won’t have hand-dyed thread etc….
But with all the buttons any resale or consignment shop accumulates (and you KNOW how we hate to throw things away…) and the bits and pieces of costume jewelry and odds and ends of rickrack and trim….
Pins, barrettes, bouquets…some cool stuff. Shop Princesslasertron here.

damn you Kate! I just spent waaay too much money on those flowers!
I’ve collected wacky buttons since I was a kid, and have bowls full of them. I’ll bet Kenny wishes I’d make something out of them and sell them!
hm. I wonder what I could make out of his marble collection!
I glued some vintage buttons onto plain rings that I bought at Hobby Lobby and sold them at the shop. They were a huge hit…I need more wacky buttons!
We are working on our website and e-mail so I am using my prsonal e-mail. Anyways, What type of rings?
Hi Theresa, Alas! Links that are almost 3 years old, often are no longer valid. If you are interested in the idea of vintage buttons turned into rings, try googling it…I’m sure someone out there is doing that now in 2011!
