Give me button craft ideas for V's party

[TrudyCampbell]

What can I make out of buttons?

I'm already sewing some buttons onto her dress to make a button bib collar like this:



And I'll probably make a big "V" out of buttons. I'm placing a giant button order on etsy sooo... any other ideas!?

You could string buttons together with string or thin ribbon and make necklaces?

Button headband is a must! I hope you're listening Hoody.

[lolaburns]

Oh could you make a felt flower garland for decoration with buttons in the middle of the flowers? I feel like I saw a cute felt flower garland tutorial on Pinterest!

What about cute little button bouquets...or a picture frame collaged with buttons with a picture of V?

[lolaburns]

For weddings a trend is vintage brooch bouquets. I think for centerpieces and such a vintage button bouquet in a pretty container would be so cute! You could glue them to a styrofoam ball.

If you need a nice felt supplier I have one! Hit me up if you need it. I ordered from them when I made L's Christmas stocking.

are you making a banner? I forget.....add buttons.

table cloth? add buttons.

serve food like bagels.

[TrudyCampbell]

We are serving bagels! I didn't even correlate them with buttons. Score! I was going to order a banner off of etsy because I didn't trust my skills but maybe I can make one. Or maybe I can glue buttons onto the one I buy.

Is "cute as a button" only the theme or will it be written anywhere? make the O in button a button.

just add buttons, I'd say.

Are there going to be other kids there? You could do a button themed craft for them to make (if the age is right). Make big buttons cut out of paper or felt or something and let them decorate them.

Nah. Tons of 1 year olds but no one much older than that. Boo.

[mikehoncho]

Aww that will be so fun though! I wish Liam had lots of his aged buddies close by to shoot the shit with.

I love that dress!! The party is going to be so cute. Looking forward to those pics.

Are you having a candle? Like a number 1 candle that you could put little buttons on. Vases covered in buttons as decor.

That's not the exact dress (I wish it was!) but it's a similar idea. I have a lavender dress from Janie & Jack that has a jersey top and tulle skirt so I'm going to sew the buttons to the top.

Vases is a cute idea!

You could hot glue buttons around the outside edge of serving bowls.

[Deleted]

you could buy wood letters to spell Violet and paint. put a solid coat on (might take a couple coats) then randomly glue buttons down.

[AndyCohen]

You could have a jar full of buttons and people have to guess how many buttons are in the jar.

[Deleted]

oh. I can't make that clicky.

Hoody I google imaged button garland and got ideas- love!!

[mamasaurus]

Teddy bears or other plush doll with button eyes can be in the decor, for variety. You could to a table runner with lines of buttons at the edges. If you have flowers, you can get bachelor's buttons in different colors, tie bunches with a ribbon, and glue dot a button to the ribbon like a clasp.

if this works....this is M' s button band. it can be made in any style you have in mind though. just a band of beads, a cluster, a few random like this....if you want one and have an idea in mind just let me know.

ETA: didn't work. can't pip from kindle.

[dojo]

I would buy paper or plastic plates in various sizes and colours and then use a black sharpie to draw button holes on them and hang them around the walls.

[mala]

Get foam forms from the craft store, wreaths, cones and spheres, and glue buttons on them for decor. Make button flowers to put in a glass jar.
