Monochromatic Button Pin and Button Gift Box

By Admin on April 26, 2011 in Jewelry, Occasions

Working with monochromatic color schemes is a quick and easy way to design a project. You don’t have to worry about the colors not coordinating.

This pin is going to be for Mother’s Day. My mom sent me a link to the dress she is wearing and I thought the pin would be a great surprise. If I know my mom well and I think I do, she will also save the box and re-use it. If she does that will make me happy.
