Buttons are great craft materials – they come in literally hundreds of shapes, sizes and colours which, with a little bit of inspiration, can be used to make some amazingly quirky things to suit any occasion or mood. Keep buttons together in a special container and take them out whenever you feel a burst of creativity (have a quick peek here to see how to make some great storage spaces using old cereal boxes!).
Soft furnishings can be jazzed up within minutes using a few brightly coloured buttons and a needle and thread. This is super effective on things like lamps and cushions, but any square of plain fabric that needs a bit of sprucing up is perfect for buttons. For hard surfaces, or places that are awkward to reach, use a hot glue gun to fix the buttons in place.
Even small items like hairclips can get an instant button makeover – use contrasting colours for that extra wow factor! Creative brides-to-be might want to try their hand and making an amazing button bouquet instead of flowers. They not only look great, but double as a keepsake to remind you of your special day!
