Buttons, again?

Cover buttons are so fun. They're even more fun when the print of the fabric matches the size of the button, like these. Lecien's Minny Muu Plus Animal Dots are just the right size for 22mm buttons. There are more than 15 different circles (I didn't bother to count after 15). I like the bees. There's a bee with a sting and a bee without a sting.Most of the animals have a match.

Anyway, made some dual loop hair ties with two of the 22mm buttons.

Managed to get hold of some more 27mm button starter kits. Each Daiso outlet is different and what you find at one outlet, you may not at another. Even if it's the largest outlet, you may still not find the items found in smaller ones. You can reserve items though. Just give them a call and if they have stock at that outlet which you call, they can reserve it for 3 days.

I have two sets (only!) of 22mm cover button starter kits. Will be posting these to Facebook tomorrow. Found some coloured hair elastic to go with the fabric circles.

Have a blessed day!

Giveaway!

Christmas 2012 giveaway!

Remember this drawstring bag from the tutorial? This can be yours along with other handmade items in your choice of colour. I'm thinking books, magnets, hair ties, pouch, bookmark, scrunchy...etc. It'll be the most I've given away to date :-)

What you'll have to do by 24Nov 8pm is to SHARE this pic on Facebook and leave a COMMENT as to what colour items you'd like if you win this. I'll try to best match :-)

Have a blessed day!

ps: If you don't have a Facebook account, you're welcome to leave a comment here instead.

Colour combinations

I didn't think these would go together but these 2 colours were what DD requested. Six braided green and brown. After braiding it like that (3 consecutive green, 3 consecutive brown), it seems quite pleasant. I might try another that is green, brown alternates. I might try an 8-braid, or a 10? I think it's the same method as the 6. I'll need to find the corresponding ribbon ends first though.

 

Remember the top-most gift bag? I used it for the tutorial. Made some more out of Christmas colours. 

Would you have guessed that all these came from a single piece of cloth? It's those 'cheater' patchwork types. The sizes are just nice for these 27mm buttons. Dual loops elastic hair ties.

I just remembered that I'm supposed to update the Pre-Christmas Sale 2012 page with these than post here.

Oh well.

Have a blessed day!

Happy friends

I like Lecien's prints, especially this one from the Happy Chihuahuas range. These come in the 'right' size for 27mm cover buttons or even 18mm where you get the animal up close. These are dual loop elastic hair ties. Packaged as a set of 4 so I don't have to bother about inventorising how many cats, dogs, piyos or hams there are, LOL!

Have a blessed day!

Letting go

Just posted these 2 on Facebook. I was hoarding cherishing them for a while 'cos of the colours of the elastic band. I like the colour combinations. These are the medium thickness ones. I have the thinner version too, the one I used in an earlier post with the 18mm buttons.

So, if you like these, please hop over to Facebook and leave a comment.

Comes with 24 fabric circles with your preference of colours and prints, if available.

Have a blessed evening

ps: DS asked me why I don't up the price of the Daiso products and I only charge for the fabric circles. He said, Daiso is like my supplier and as a reseller I can up the price before selling it to you. True but for now, I'll just stick to Daiso price. I'm not going into selling supplies. Not for now, at least, LOL!
