Welcome back .... introducing "5 ways to"

BUTTONS

WOW! It's been almost 12 months since I blogged for the shop. How fast that time has gone!

Recently Des has been spending a bit of time doing some research on different uses for some of the common things that get donated to the Op Shop. This has been generating a fair bit of interest, so I've decided that once a week I'm going to blog on 5 ways to reuse/recycle/upscale a specific item.

Today I'm going to concentrate on Buttons. You'll find that at most Op Shops you can pick up an assortment of buttons but my personal favourite are Vintage buttons.

They aren't as easy to pick up around the traps these days, but if you are lucky enough and happen to find them, they are little treasures!

Here are a few simple ideas that you can do to recycle old buttons. Please note that none of these items are actually with us for sale - they are simply to inspire those who like to create.
