We meet so many fellow hoarders at the fairs and events we attend: fabric lovers, ribbon stashers and of course, button enthusiasts. We meet people who confess to having a habit, but who just can’t resist just one more piece of fabric, or another button. So we thought it would be nice if we shared some of our simple crafty projects to help keep those stashes down.
We will be posting lots of ideas over the next few weeks but here are the first five. You can find all of the buttons you might ever need, including our mixed packs for only £2, at our online shop
Decorate an old lampshade with buttons and a glue gun
Make a patchwork checkers board and use buttons as the playing pieces
Pop a button onto a ring back
Make a vintage button brooch (we will be running this workshop at Yorkshire Best – Sunday 23rd September)
Have a button and ribbon moment on the back of an envelope
Check back for more projects soon.
Happy 3rd birthday, I am a fairly new member. My neighbour gave me a copy of crafts beautiful in may this year and I fell in love with your Luna rabbit. I made one exactly the same to give to my 33 year old daughter, who loves her to bits. I have made one for myself since. I love your site and all your news, you have been most helpful when I have made contact. Hope to see you at yarndale in September. Keep up the good work you are truly an inspiration

We are glad you all loved Luna, we love her too!
Looking forward to seeing you at yarndale, its one of the best things about this job meeting those who love Luna as much as we do here.
Thank you for your kind words.
