How to Make a Button Fairy
Not quite sure who started doing these but I found out about them first on Swap-Bot.
According to a blog I recently read "The original button faerie is brought to you by Nenufar Blanco from Barcelona/Spain and you will find lots of samples on her Flickr site"I've not tried these out yet but who knows I may in the future. Tiny things try my patience.
You'll find Inspiration as well as handmade small business suppliers for your buttons and collage sheets.
I've included some recommended reading for how to bead but please do add your own suggestions as we all learn from each other. Be sure to drop by the Button Faeries Group on Flickr to share your creations.
Remember to Favorite the lens so you can come back to it and Rate it.(look up at the stars)
