Hi! It’s Kimberly with one of my favorite things! Right now, I am completely in love with these Wood & Chip Buttons from My Mind’s Eye. The wood buttons look like the tops of antique wood thread spools. Such a great touch for projects!

For my first idea, I used the darling button shown below to create sunshine. The buttons are self-adhesive, so I used a paper piercer to break through to allow the twine to be tied.

Supplies used: The Sweetest Thing Lavender Cutie Pie decorative buttons from My Mind’s Eye; cardstock from Bazzill Basics Paper Inc.; Bring On The Sun stamp set from Technique Tuesday; tuxedo black Memento ink pad from Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko; twine from May Arts Ribbon; Scor-Pal from Scor-Pal Products.

 

My second idea was to use one of the buttons as the center of a layered doily.

Supplies used: The Sweetest Thing Honey Happiness decorative buttons and The Sweetest Thing Tangerine 6 x 6 paper pad from My Mind’s Eye; cardstock from Bazzill Basics Paper Inc.; Asian Accents (#S5-123) die templates from Spellbinders™ Paper Arts; white large adhesive foam squares and E-Z Dots Permanent from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™.

 

For this idea, I used the button as the center of a bow. I began by tying a knot in the ribbon and inserting it through the opening. Then I tied the bow at the back.

Supplies used: The Sweetest Thing Tangerine Hello decorative buttons and 6 x 6 paper pad from My Mind’s Eye; stamps from Hero Arts; tuxedo black Memento ink pad from Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko; frayed burlap distress ink pad from Ranger Industries Inc.; Standard Circles SM (#S4-116) die templates from Spellbinders™ Paper Arts; white small adhesive foam squares and E-Z Dots Permanent from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™.

 

For my last idea, I thought it would be cute to make a little state fair ribbon with the wood buttons and the small pennant stickers in the package.

Supplies used: The Sweetest Thing Tangerine Hello and Lavender Cutie Pie decorative buttons and The Sweetest Thing Tangerine 6 x 6 paper pad from My Mind’s Eye; You Can Do Anything stamp set from Simon Says Clear Stamps; tuxedo black Memento ink pad from Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko; frayed burlap distress ink pad from Ranger Industries Inc.; Pinking Circles SM die templates from Spellbinders™ Paper Arts.

 

Aren’t these just the cutest? They are SO much fun to play with! What would you do with these buttons?

Thanks for stopping by!
