My First Folksy Friday - Buttons

I have been thinking for a while about what my theme could be for my Folksy Friday.  In the end I chose to feature buttons.  We use buttons everyday and they are usually on our shirts, coats, trouser etc.  But of course they have many more uses than that. So I thought we could see the different ways in which crafters use buttons other than just on clothing.  So here is my first ever Folksy Friday, I hope you like it.

1. Fabric Button Bracelet - Spots and Stripes Bracelet by Incy Wincy Stitches  2. Little Fabric Tree Brooch by Buttercup Boutique  3. Funky Pink Flower and Button 3D Wall Art Decoration by 100 Percent Delicate  4. Toadstool Charm by Paperfish  5. Reversable Pincushion by Blonde's Backyard  6.  Button Jute Shopping Bag by Beaky
 
I have to say I really enjoyed doing this Folksy Friday and searching for items to feature.  Some I have seen before , others I found by accident.  I never thought buttons had so many uses before.  I think this may have opened up a new world of adventure for me!!!

P.S  I would like to do another Folksy Friday next week but I'm stuck on a  theme. Please submit your suggestions here or here by 12th May so that I can look through them and choose one for my next Folksy Friday on 14th May.

Looking forward to your suggestions.
Thanks

  2. It's great hunting items out isn't it? What a fun selection of buttons! I have trouble with themes so I just pick things I like and do a search, maybe your favourite colour or interest? Di x
