After a Summer of not making much, I have finally made something and listed it too. These red & white polka dot hair snaps are now available from my
etsy shop. Made using a very cute red & white polka dot ribbon but using exactly the same technique I use to make my Dorset Buttons. So although the 3 buttons featured in this post look different they are made in the same way.
This photo shows one of the backgrounds I am using for my
etsy shop. It is from a 1950s girls' annual.

These yellow and brown buttons are for a custom order. They are now hair snaps.

And this final photo is of two I made this morning. I used a gorgeous variegated thread. I think these are destined for hair grips too - either snaps or bobby pins (as they say in the USA).

At the moment I am working on some incorporating using seed beads, so I will keep you posted.

oooh, the yellow and brown are so pretty! *winks* :)
Very clever ribbon ones and love the variegated thread too. I have been drooling over reels of thread this morning (strange child that I am), the machine embroidery ones are just amazing, might be worth a try on your buttons. x
beautiful i love your buttons!!
Thnk you Maisy (wink back).
Louise - Thank you. I am looking for new ideas for the buttons and love the thought of the reels of embroidery thread.
