After I completed three Pinterest projects and thought about putting them on my blog I realized that I did not take pictures of my process or progress. Boo...rookie mistake. So, tell you what I'm gonna do. My favorite project was the necklace that I am putting on this post. I liked it so much I wanted to show it off as soon as possible. Later this week or next I am going to make another one and show how I did it, step by step. The idea came from Pinterest (where most of my ideas come from these days) but there were no directions. Just a picture of a necklace and a picture of the supplies used to make the necklace. I used a few more supplies in mine and I think it turned out to be a sturdy little piece. Finally, a good use for my vintage button collection. I have used my buttons on bobby pins and earrings but they were lack luster, not fully showing off the button to its full potential. I feel like this necklace is my masterpiece and it only took about an hour. There was some frustration with the hot glue and if you look too close you will see some run over but I was really impatient to get the finished product. I wore it to work the next day and got lots of compliments which made me wear it again the next day and I got even more compliments. I went into a coffee shop that we all know and the barista saw it and made me wait till her supervisor got back from grabbing food to show her my necklace. I felt like a proud momma. Anyway, hope you like the necklace as much as I do. I love finding a new purpose for commonplace items. Buttons, who'd a thunk it.
