Hello wednesday - button love

clock November 2, 2011 09:07 by author Crafty Ribbons

Don't you just LOVE wednesday's? Say hello to wednesday  "hello wednesday" It's all downhill from now on to the weekend - yippee!!!

As you are aware I am always on the look out for items that I can use for projects and ideas.  One of my favourite stores for this is Wilkinsons, I made a quick trip to Poole last week, so just HAD to take a look at Wilkinsons new Christmas bits.  I do not believe they had their full display out, and to be honest I was rather disappointed as there was very little I thought I could use.  But my star buy were some felt hearts, and look what I made...............

 

......some button love!!  Mine are very festive in red and green and the merry Christmas ribbons, but they would also be awesome for Valentines.

I simply stuck buttons on with PVA glue, I used the Christmas Button Box HERE and had a good old play.  I just added buttons one at a time until the felt heart was covered.

They were an amazing price at £1.50 for 4 hearts, they only come in red and green and they only had a few boxes........so I bought the lot!!! Well you never know.... I only wish they had felt trees or stars, maybe I will have to take another trip to Poole next week.

We are all ready to go, Rachie and her little team of helpers had the stand bursting with stock and loaded onto the van by mid afternoon yesterday.  I only heard the van back doors open on a few occasions as little "forgotten" items were popped in!! 

Where are we going?

Please come and say "hi"!

Love these Ali! No Wilkinsons here, but I'll definitely keep an eye out for something similar to adapt and give it a go! Thanks again for the inspiration, and hope the Hobby Crafts event goes well. Smile
