If you rummage through cupboards and drawers, you can find a box or a bag with buttons in almost any house. Our mothers and grandmothers stocked up on these attributes, and we can create numerous accessories from this we alth: beads, bracelets, hairpins, earrings. Possible crafts from buttons amaze the imagination with their originality and variety. At the same time, absolutely any types of buttons can be used: plastic, metal, wooden, transparent and colored, large and small. Button products can be created using ordinary plastics, or you can use vintage elements to make vintage jewelry. In addition to buttons, you can use beads, glass beads, rhinestones, even torn off doll eyes.
Button crafts are a great activity to do with kids. This contributes to the development of their imagination, creative thinking, fine motor skills. But it’s worth hiding very small buttons away from very small children, which you really want to try on the tooth.
There are also quite a lot of work techniques: gluing, embroidery, weaving, wire fastening. Ready-made crafts from buttons can be painted with acrylic paints or varnish. Usually,there are no difficulties during the creative process. The final look of the desired gizmos depends only on the imagination of its creator. Here are some examples of interesting work.
Probably the easiest way to work with buttons is to string them on a wire, thread or fishing line. In such a simple way, any girl can build herself beads or a bracelet. To do this, you need to take a thin, flexible wire with a length equal to the circumference of the wrist or the desired length of the beads, plus a few centimeters for the strings. On this wire we string the selected buttons. When the job is done, the wire must be tied on both sides so that the buttons do not crumble.
If you take large bright buttons, you get an interesting decoration for the Christmas tree.
Another version of the bracelet is based on the use of a ready-made chain with large links and wire rings. Such blanks can be purchased at any needlework store. The essence of the method is to fasten the buttons to the links of the chain with the help of rings. Earrings can also be made in the same way.
If you decorate boring flip-flops with bright buttons, then such shoes will add a summer mood. We take a ribbon a little longer than a slap strap, we process its edges so that they do not crumble. We bend in the middle like the letter V and sew the fold. Sew buttons on the ribbon. When this part of the work is ready, we glue the tape on the slap strap. If aclogs are made of fabric, you can sew buttons directly to it.
Together with the children, you can also make an interesting pot holder or a panel on the wall. To do this, draw the required image on the fabric (butterfly, bunny, flower) and cut it out. We make several such layers. The top layer is sewn with buttons. After that, we sew all the layers together and process the edge with a decorative seam.
It's very easy to make a Christmas tree out of buttons and paper. Even a baby, who still does not give a needle to his mother, will cope with this task. To do this, we fold a cone from thick paper or thin cardboard and glue the edges so that the base does not fall apart. It remains only to glue green buttons to it - larger at the bottom, small at the top. In some places you can stick buttons of a different color, imitating Christmas toys.
Button crafts are a fun and easy activity that can bring a lot of fun to both adults and children. Therefore, if during the general cleaning you find deposits of old buttons, do not throw them away, but put them into action.
