I once made some button bouquets and placed them on wire from a salt shaker… it was only the most adorable way to display buttons that I have ever seen! But seen I haven’t actually finished one and displayed it… I ended up just pouring the buttons inside of it. I just love buttons!

So I made this craft a couple of months ago… but for some reason I forgot to post it?! So here it is…
It is meant for kids… when they are traveling to not only be a comfy pillow to lay their heads on… but also a folder to keep their books or activities in while on the road! I know it has gossip magazines in it… but thats all I had at hand to slip in there… haha!
I know I’ve been away so I wanted to post some new ideas I had for some tooth fairy pillows! I will be posting them on Etsy sometime this week! These don’t show exactly what they look like… because they aren’t entirely completed yet… but they are still cool pictures none the less! ENJOY!

So this is my FIRST plushie ever! I am super excited… and I think it came out pretty well! Only I am really terrible at sewing the finishing touches up on a project after stuffing it… if you have any tips for me I’d love to hear them!

I used a soft Snuggle Fabric brand for the owl material… and felt for the eyes and nose… with buttons as an added extra! Then just used matching fabric for the body! Pretty cute I’d say… for a first attempt anyway!

So here is my 2nd version of my tooth fairy pillow… this one has crazy hair! In my opinion its a little cuter than the 1st one… the more I make the more ADORABLE they will be!
I also decided instead of trying to manage and deal with an Etsy site… I am going to sell my stuff at some local festivals this year first… to see how it goes! The first one I am going to attend is the AUTUMN JUBILEE in SALISBURY, NC OCTOBER 4-5th! Autumn Jubliee Link
I have my work cut out for me but I’m so excited that I don’t care! So go ahead and plan on attending!
However… if you do see something you would be interested in buying just let me know and we will work it out! )

I saw these cute little felt pin holder books on a website I was looking at…. but can’t figure out which one! When I saw them I thought immediately … I can make those! So I did! They were so easy and actually ended up being really fun to make!
I am thinking about getting an Etsy site to sell them…. and some other stuff I’ve been working on to! I guess I don’t really have anything to lose because I make the stuff anyway… )
Here’s a few pictures of my boys relaxing today to… )

This project is SO easy… and in my opinion its adorable!
1. Just get a wooden mirror from your local craft store, (I got mine at Michael’s and it was only like $2.50!), and pick out TONS of your favorite buttons to display!
2. Then you can glue them down with either Mod Podge or a hot glue gun, either would work fine!
3. Finished! This is one of the easiest projects that I have came up with… and its close to being my favorite! I hung mine over the kitchen sink!… just for an idea!

Homemade Checkerboard:
I love this project… and I hope you guys do to! Unfortunately this is another on that I don’t have pictures of me making! But I will try to lay it out for you guys!
1. I got some patterned fabric that I thought was cute for the border and back and a plain fabric for the inside. The squares are made out of felt.
2. First I cut the felt up into 32 squares and sewed them on to the plain fabric by hand with embroidery floss. I arranged them first to see how I wanted to space and lay them out. I made sure that there was plenty of room on the outside of the squares on the plain fabric so that the patterned fabric could be sewn on!
3. After this I simply sewed the patterned fabric onto the plain fabric. I first folded over each side to give it a nice even border and then just sewed it on!
4. Afterward I picked out 2 different colors of buttons as my game pieces… just so you know the colors of buttons in this picture are blue and white even though they don’t appear so in the picture! )
