Button Garland

No Jill and I didn't try this, I was ready and waiting for her to post JUNKLE BELLS and to my surprise she had a garland project too!!

All you need for mine is buttons and 24 guage wire. I choose white buttons cause I have alot of them, but any color would be fine.

First I cut a bunch of the wire about 6 to 8 inches long.

Then you thread the one end throught a hole and bend it to go back down the other hole.

And twist the end around the other wire.

I did all the ones that I had the wire cut.

Then to make the garland I just lokked for a good place and twisted it around another button wire.

Then folded the wire up and added another button on the other end of the wire.

And continued this till you get as long of a piece of garland as you need.

But, you don't have to use it on your tree add it to anything, it tucks in any nook and cranny!

Since I had a tree still hangin around I added it to it!

Need a Pencil ?

I was inspired by Jenny Kompolt from Junk Market Style web site with her "Got a pencil??" post http://www.junkmarketstyle.com/item/3522/got-a-pencil


I had most of the pencils laying in a drawer at home but didn't have enough so I got some from my Mom.
Hot glued them to a back of a paint stirring stick, I added the wire to hang it with first and had to cut off the end of the stick cause I didn't want to find more pencils!

I added a Smiley Pin, I wanted it so if I find another button or pin I could change it out so I glued a magnet to the pencils and to the pin back. So now I can change it or if I want to wear the pin!

Have A Nice Day!

Hello Spring!

Just Junk

I must admit this idea came from another blog on my list at the right, Round Barn Potting Company. I have an unlimited supply of pickle jars!! So I used this to hold some of my junk stuff till I am ready to put them to use in another project. I did this over the holiday break.

Since I have been busy latley I haven't had the time to create something new, but a new Magazine called Flea Market Style came out It inspired me to use some of my junk in just decorating! Link also to the right.

The old glass globe below is a fav of mine and I am waiting to find just the right idea to make it special, it currently has a candle in it but doesn't show uo due to the flash.

The fan Ibought last summer for 1 dollar! An old part of a book wrapped in twine and an old paperback book folded into a tree, I made some of these around Christmas time, I have plans to add a rusty star to the top and spray with glitter, for next year.

In the magazine, if you seen one the folded pages of the book could be put to good use, a later blog post!!!
Using twine to tie around old books came from the Round Barn Potting Co.
