These barrettes are fun and easy to make. They are great for using little bits of fabric especially your stashed vintage treasures). They also show case special buttons and are a great use for those buttons that have no matches. I sometimes make matching pairs but I really like the making coordinates that are each a little different but still look good worn together.
