The Handmade Button

by

I have always collected buttons. I adore vintage ones made of mother of pearl in unique shapes- they are my favorite!

I found a bunch of fun websites that sell handmade buttons. From gorgeous European glass to tiny garden themed ones- buttons are the easiest way to add some pizazz or update an outfit.

Shunklies sells adorable pop art buttons- handmade and very resonably priced.

BlueMoon Button Art has a dizzying array of beautiful buttons.

Dana’s Handmade specializes in buttons with a garden theme. Perfect for a kitschy little 50’s blouse!

Or if all else fails, you can always make your own buttons.

  5. I love buttons! There are so many creative vendors out there. I’ve been thinking about opening a button shop, where one could shop up close & personal. Bring your garment or project to try out different buttons. I’m just trying to decide wether it would be a viable business. Any thoughts out there?

  6. What a beautiful selection of buttons! Buttons are such a delightful way to personalize items. Love them.
