Button Flowers

Buttons again.
< Image 1 of 3 >

After seeing a lot of button flower bouquets online I had to make one for myself!

It's a fast/easy/cheap project - if you think it's cutee you should give it a try!

Based on an original project available here

Add to Favorites Add Your Version

All what you will need! If you don't have a leather punch just use a scissor or sharp knife! Don't have a wire cutter - bend and twist the wire until it breaks ;)
Choose beautiful buttons of different sizes and shades :)

I've chosen 3 for the upper flower and 4 for the bigger one.
Cut your wire at accurate length - depending on your vase! You will bend it in half later, so don't cut to short.
Cut your leaves and punch holes in them!
Bend the wire. Slide the first three Buttons on to the wire, beginning with the smallest. Then twist the wire some inches/cm.
Repeat the last step with for making the bigger flower. Twist the wire all over.
Slide your leather leaves on to the twisted wire. Then bend the wire to fix them.
Tadaaa! First flower finished :)

These are lovely - I will be trying my own. You've managed to improve on the original I think - I love the looser arrangement on yours, and the leaves are a gorgeous addition. Great!

is there any other material besides leather that you could use- I want to make an environmentally friendly version :P

You can use every material ... paper and stuff.

For an environmentally friendly version you shouldn't use wire, buttons and a store bought vase either. :P Even things you personally can put into the right recycle bin afterwards - you don't know under which circumstances it was produced.
