Cooks Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 thanks, yes to have beads from a great great grandma is very special but they were all broken so unable to be worn until now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Lynsey have you ever tried making button bracelets? I saw a few recently in a shop somewhere and thought they were lovely and such a brillinat way to recycle old buttons Here are some examples from t'interweb: I think I like the last one best of all. I used to make jewellery in the days when I was single and not tied to the pay cheque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Wow Claret - those are gorgeous , I like them all. I might dig out my stash & have a go later - mums birthday next month - she'd like those! I have lots of buttons. Cookie - the pink bracelet looks lovely! Bet you could easily make some button bracelets! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 CookieM. must have half a house full of beads now & you want her to fill the other half with buttons? My daughters and nieces are very good at jewellery, but it's too fiddly for me me, I must have the carrying big boxes gene, not the artistic one. I just come into this section to admire the work of all you clever peeps with crafty fingers and drool over the lovely bracelets. Yes, you must have a go too Emma, I'm sure your Mum would be thrilled. I love button & bead collections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I was looking at some Alice in Wonderland bracelets on ebay last night. I love Alice in Wonderland & these were gorgeous. There was also some on Etsy. Hmmm might have to purchase. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Claret - I hate to admit it, but I have raided my mums buttons already...lololol seriously I will need my own craft room/area/extention/house to cope with all these beads/buttons. lol It's just that they are so so pretty you get them thinking, well they are too pretty to leave I have even found some Tibetan hen silver charms to add to them which I will love on mine I have to say. (well I say I found them, Em did actually) so I ordered some and then guess what came in the post as a pressie from her today?? more hens lolol Em can you make it an Araucana (sp?) next time..lololololol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
