My husband and I have been assembling a secret Christmas gift and needed just the right buttons. When we couldn't find them, Mark decided to make them. These buttons are hand shaped with rounded edges.
Mark added little "dimples" by the button holes for added interest. The buttons are sanded smooth and sprayed with a clear enamel finish.
While he was at it, he made some extra buttons for my shop. You can find them here. I think that they would be so perfect for handknits. In fact, they really make me wish that my knitting skills were such that I could easily whip up a cowl or sweater just to use some.
Oh Amy these are amazing!! Your husband and you are quite the creative team!!
ReplyDeleteThey would also be great for purse buttons!:)
ReplyDeleteYes, that's exactly what I say. You two are quite the pair. These are awesome and they brought back a childhood memory for me. My mom used to keep rosewood scented beads in her closet and dresser drawers. The scent was enticing and yes, I used to play with them!! They were a similar shape to these buttons your husband made. At first glance, that was my initial thought. I think they'd be great for a purse, pouch, or tote closure too!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I love them!
