I made this necklace after I was inspired by all of the lovely buttons in the lexi loves store. I threaded the buttons on some waxed cotton cord and tied a knot in between. There are a few buutons on there from my nans button box and others I have picked up on my travels. I started with 1m of cord but that wasn't quite long enough, so if i make another I will start with 150cm, the knots seem to take up alot of cord!
If anyone wants to have a go I am going to buy a reel of cord from my lovely haberdashers wholesalers next time I do an order so drop me an email and I can send you some cord!
Lovely necklace and greetings to your brother!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Admired this when you had it on at the Cow Hunt! A lovely, delicate piece. Kath x
ReplyDeleteYes please, I've started my collection of buttons already!
ReplyDeleteSave me some cord please! My Grandma's button collection sits in a large jar on my shelf. Occasionally my girls and I get it down and play with it and we have added to it over the years. We would love to make necklaces - I admired yours this morning!
ReplyDeleteLike the one I saw you wearing today at toddlers - loved it, especially paired with lovely monochrome stripes. Meg x
