Button Rings!




So I have been pretty bummed out lately because I haven't been using any of my quasi-creative skills to do anything artistic.

I purchased some buttons on Etsy, bought some supplies, and wa-la! I made button rings! I still have to make sure they are durable enough before I start giving them to friends (or possibly selling them), but for my first attempt I am pretty happy with how they turned out :)

First stop: button rings. Next stop: fancy sock puppets?

Time to Get Creative!

I have been creatively dormant for way too long and I need to get some things going!

I just purchased a ton of buttons on Etsy, so when we get back from Cancun I plan on designing some fabulous things. I think I'll start with some button rings. I found this great tutorial on the blog Style Crush, and it seems easy enough.

I also found this amazing Etsy site with button rings I will aspire to create :)

My friend (and sister-in-law!) Becky and I want to start our own Etsy page so we can create rad things and sell them to the masses. I am pretty jazzed just thinking about it! But first we need an incredibly awesome name for our site...oh yeah, and some product to sell.
