button play

I had one package of button hanging around.
Think I won it as a door prize somewhere.
I also had a little time,
mixed with a little creative juice.
So Papaya and I decided to be a little creative.
We snipped the backs off the buttons so that they were flat.
Added some hot glue and a thumb tack.
 Presto!  Super cute, super easy, super fun push pins.
Super girly too...
Here's another way to make them.
About a month ago I made a dozen using brads, which you can find at scrapbook stores.
I just broke the back metal pieces off,
added glue
and a tack.
Voila!
So much cuter than the regular push pin!

That daisy button is my favorite. I can't believe those are buttons. I hope you are doing well. I have been so bad at getting to everyone's blog because all I do is write papers and work. Sigh. One more year to go. It's
-23C here today, so cold. I am desperately hoping it gets a bit better for the weekend because I want to go do a bit of cross country skiing on Sunday.
