Description:

Make a button bouquet to celebrate the return of Spring! Each bouquet must include a minimum of six stems and must use at least two buttons. If you want to include something to use as a vase, feel free!

Some swapper's might prefer certain colors to go with their decor. If so, let everyone know in the comments.

If you need ideas, search on the phrase, button bouquet. Do not go as elaborate as the wedding button bouquets (though they are pretty and clever).

Pick your colors, use antique or new buttons, add leaves. Just make it fun!

Minimum rating is 4.5. If you have a lower rating, let me know and we can discuss it. No 1s or flakes.

Newbies welcome!!

This sounds like fun! I have tons of buttons. I would like one that I could put in one of my small blue glass bottles.

We are going to make 6 button flowers for our bouquet, correct? I am looking forward to trying this. ;0)

jandmterry,

Yes, six button flowers using a minimum of two buttons each. Usually you use a larger button on the bottom and a smaller button on the top. The picture at http://www.weddingbee.com/2012/11/29/diy-button-bouquets/#axzz2P5893ClG provides and excellent example.

Feel free to use as many buttons as you want. If you use antique buttons and you have a story behind them, share it with your partner.

I got some buttons today and gave it a try. I love the results. Thanks for putting up a neat idea.

So glad you liked it! I didn't know that people were using button bouquets in weddings. Some I saw were gorgeous.

I would like either a pink bouquet, or anything in naturalistic colors or earthy colors. Please no black or neon colors ='(
