Tutorial: Button stripe throw pillow

Buttons don’t always have to be functional. They can also be purely decorative, just there to look pretty. Kathy from Just Crafty Enough shows how you can make a simple throw pillow embellished with a stripe of buttons. You’ll need A LOT of buttons. She used 100 of them to make the stripe on her pillow. If you have a plentiful button stash, you might have what you need on hand – though they’d probably be a hodge podge of buttons. If you need 100 matching buttons, you can find them at the craft store. Go to Just Crafty Enough to see how to make one.
