Sparkles

May I introduce my newest cuties:



It's hard to find hair do dads for special events or just when you want to feel special. So, when a customer of mine asked me to come up with something for her I made some for her and listed a few others! What do you think?

Button Button- How To

I recently decided to try my hand at button making- as advertised I'm hooked! One of my favorite supply stops Three Dancing Magpie's had everything I needed so I said what the heck!

First you need the cover button tool, the button parts, and some fabric (or wide ribbon). I also made a template for how much fabric I needed for super speedy cutting.


Next put your fabric in the white part and slide in the top

I trimmed a bunch off the top after just be careful you don't trim too close.

Slide in your back piece folding in your ends of the fabric. Put your pusher on top and well push.


Pop out your new button! To turn it into a hair tie keep going!
Take a hair tie and slide it in the button wire.


Slide the hair tie through the hair tie so you get a knot


Continue until your little heart's desire :)


Be Warned you will make 50 without thinking about it!

I Love Lucite

Lucite is a weakness for me. My heart skips a beat when I see vintage lucite anything. So, when I saw these modern lucite mums I had to have some. Thus far they have become bobby pins and post earrings but I'm thinking of combining them with my glass pendants too. I have a new batch of them on the way to me and I can't wait to get my hands on them. Here are my favorite color gracing some silver plated bobby pins!
