My Creative Space ....

I haven't been too creative of late, even though I have lots of ideas in my head! But I have several markets coming up so must get back into the "groove". So I thought I'd ease myself back into things by making some fabric covered button hair accessories.

So today I've been busy making button hair ties with 23mm & 28mm buttons and I'm also working on hair clips as well. Some of the fabrics I've used are scraps from other projects - such as my Reversible Pinafores, and would make lovely additions to any purchase.

The finished hair ties ready for the next market.

Button Hair Ties

My self cover button supplies arrived and using some off cuts form the fabrics I made the reversible tops from, I have created some large button hair ties. I whipped these up really quickly and am very happy with them. I think I'll get the next size down also for some smaller hair ties. I also like the way they look on my new cards (photo taken with iphone again - not great quality).

My Button Creations

I definitely have a thing for buttons at the moment, which is one reason I bought the beautiful button creations at the market. I have however had a go at making some fabric covered button hair ties myself.

I made these last week for the very first time. I bought them as a kit, with all the materials and instructions. They are 23mm buttons on thin hair ties. I made 10 in all and had them all finished in around 20 mins. I really enjoyed making them, and am definitely going to make a lot more for the "Sunday's Child" label. I particularly like the spots.

P.S I just realised that there is one button missing from the photo - it's a Babushka doll print, which I think is my favourite, very cute!

Button Accessories

Here are the photos of the lovely purchases from the market yesterday.

They are all equally as nice, the button hair ties are "so cute", and I just love the flower hairclip - hopefully Emma will too!

The button brooch was a purchase for me, and I know it will get a lot of wear as the colour is quite neutral and will go with everything.
