Whether they’re candy-colored plastic or retro-chic, buttons seem to go everywhere these days: delightfully decorating jewelry, embellishing home décor, and more. And anyone who knows how to use glue and do basic stitching and stringing can complete these 50 stylish, versatile projects with no problem at all. “Button up” a simple lampshade so that the light creates a fabulous graphic pattern of silhouettes. Craft a boutique-worthy brooch out of tiny vintage Bakelite bird buttons embroidered on felt ovals and set it in a sterling silver pre-made pin. The clean, contemporary photography that showcases the projects will appeal to today’s crafter—and amusing tidbits focus on such fun topics as button museums, the self-proclaimed Button King, and button lingo.
nothing cute, nothing crafty I expected this book to be full of "cute and crafty projects" as the cover promised, but the project on the cover was the best and only one in the entire book. The other projects don't go far, most of them just attaching buttons to small accessories. There is nothing interesting and creative even for the very beginning level. I returned the book, there is no use for it.
Do you love buttons? Button! Button! is a fun and clever book for crafters and all those who just love buttons. Not sure what you can do with Grandma's cookie tin filled with buttons? This book offers, as the title says, 50 wonderful, crafty ideas in clear, simple form. The pictures are sharp and contemporary. Products range from bookmarks and clocks to purses and quilts. Great gift for a button lover.
