Button Earrings

 Been busy... away to Barcelona, work, uni, etc... so not been around as much as I would normally... sad but I haven't really missed my blog much either, perhaps it's a sign to think about packing it all in?

Anyway here's some button earrings that I've been making recently and selling to friends and at local craft markets... there's plenty more button earrings up for sale on the facebook page for Southern Fairy Designs too.

Think my favourite pair has to be the white and purple stars below, tmepted to just keep that pair for myself instead of trying to sell them on...

Then I thought about playing with some other shaped buttons too... Love the little pink heart buttons... in fact I already have a pair for myself that are identical to the lower pair and I wear them to brighten up an outfit :)

Button Flower Brooches

Oooh I've been waiting to post these for a couple of days but I've had to behave and give the glue 24hrs to settle for each lil step of the way... So here's 3 of the button flower brooches I've been making over the last few days...
I've used:

• 5 mother of pearl buttons
• 5 green pearl buttons
• 1 large silver pearl button
• 1 shell star button
• 1 shell flower button
• 5 blue metal ring buttons
• 1 blue plastic star button
• 1 large black button
• 1 chunky rim purple button
• 3 felt circles (to attach the pins)
• 3 badge pins

I can see myself making an absolute shed load of these in different colours and types of buttons... especially as I just got some new buttons and I'm always searching for unusual buttons :)
