Bee happy ..... use buttons

The broadband has been down at home most of today so I made the most of my time and changed the buttons on my cardi.  I had seen one similar in John Lewis with different buttons but thought I could do it myself :)



I cut the old buttons off the cardi and then picked out some new ones from my stash.

When I finally decided which order to put them in I then just stitched each button over the tiny holes left from the old ones.



This got me thinking what else I had used buttons on in the house.


A plain black out roller blind in the spare bedroom looks prettier with heart buttons along the bottom.Again, I copied this idea, saw one in B&Q which was about £70 with buttons on.  Got my blind from Dunelm Mill and stitched buttons along the bottom myself :)


I used buttons for the numbers on this clock I made to match my kitchen.




When the string broke on my heart sign (it was glued in the centre at the top) I drilled 2 holes at the top and then used twine to hang it up, adding a cute button for extra prettiness.

Wonder what you have used buttons on?

Have a delicious day!
