I love buttons. And buttons love me ‘cause they don’t get thrown away around here, especially colorful vintage ones!
All of my white and mother-of-pearl buttons are rounded up in a thrifted spinning spice rack.
To those of you handy with a sewing machine (that would be you, Reva and Aunt BN!), turn away or cringe! Here is my attempt at making burlap curtains for our office. Notice I said making not sewing! The width of the burlap was exact {thank the Lord!} so the only cutting I had to do was on the ends (don’t look too close, because they are not straight!) I did fray them and then carefully added the iron-on hem to keep them from fraying any further.
My saving grace: clip-on curtain rings! I was a tad skeptical seeing as the clips are very small, but those puppies have a grip! Hats off to the person who invented them for having pity on us non-sew-ers!
Thanks for stopping by on your A to Z April Challenge rounds! I’m also participating on my family blog, It’s All Good!
God bless,

That turned out really good...it lets in just the right amount of light! I love buttons, too...and old spools of thread! ♥
ReplyDeleteLove the burlap curtains!!! You almost made my day by showing how you are re-using the spice rack. I have one of those, and not I must find something very interesting to put in those jars, after I throw out all the old spices, which I need to do. Thank you my clever friend!!!! Any idea's beside buttons?!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI now have button envy. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI like the spice rack idea. The white buttons look pretty in there.
