I got a kit to make your own buttons from Cross Stitcher magazine. Instead of using any of the provided charts, I decided to design my own using PC Stitch Pro. I made a set of three woodland images and then an abstract colour one. Each one took about five hours to stitch, so I did one each day. My favourite is the mushroom one :)
make a button that is big funky and makes a statement for FREE! So i found the make a bag out of paper tutorial on cut out and keep and had to give it a go. I redesigned and made a messenger style bag (see other project for photos) I felt it just needed something big and bold to keep it shut. I didnt have any money so couldn't buy one from the shop. So I made from what was around the house I'm aware that not everyone has these items to hand so it may not be free but they are common household items or very cheap
