Recycled Glass Jars....Made into Button Heaven


I said in my previous post that I had an idea for some new pincushions, I'm so delighted that I got a few made for the market this weekend. After searching through lots of glass jars I found these three. The aim is to find lots of lovely glass jars of different shapes and sizes an turn them into these super cute pincushion/button holders. Included in the jars is a great mixed selection of beautiful vintage buttons.

As I type this my fingers are suffering from my use of super glue while making these. It feels like I have thimbles on all of my fingers...a very strange sensation. I'm still undecided as to the price of these, especially for the larger jars as they contain a lot of buttons

  3. Oh thanks, glad to know other people think they're cute too. Still not sure yet on the prize, I've to count how many buttons fit in the large one, I think about 500. Would 15 be too much and 10 for the smaller one?

  4. Pricing is the most difficult part of making stuff isn't it. I hate that part. Usually I find that I under-price so I try to get a few opinions from people I know. Nice work Ruth.
