Buttons, Buttons, Buttons!!
Buttons, buttons, buttons!
Can I just tell you how much I LOVE buttons? It's another tiny treasure that I adore, as you can probably infer from an earlier post of mine about rose appliques!
I'm an exceptionally big sucker for wooden buttons and animal-shaped buttons. Foxes are one of my favorite animals, and when I found that first set of fox buttons at my local craft store, I just couldn't resist not purchasing them! Bears are a close favorite as well, so I splurged a little there!
As for the wooden buttons, those are actually a collection of various wooden buttons I have bought or collected from old clothing over the years. There's something really pleasing and charming about the rustic quality of wooden buttons to me. I love pairing them with my amigurumi projects.
Here are some affordable (but super cute) buttons that I really love! (You might need to temporarily disable ad blocking to view this section. It includes the buttons and prices through Amazon.com!)
My two babies below -- Fletcher the Fox, Brennan the Bear, and both sport wooden button joints. I think it really adds a rustic feel to them, which I soooo love!
Anyhow, that's my little spiel about my button obsession!!
Some food for thought....
- What are your favorite embellishments to add to crochet projects?
- Do you have preferred types of buttons?
- Is there a particular style that you gravitate towards? (e.g., rustic, folk, minimalistic, modern...?)
Warm wishes,
