Felt Flower Clips

By Admin on April 18, 2014 in Back to School, Holidays

These cute little felt flower clips are great to create and make for Teacher Appreciation and Mothers Day gifts. They are easy and fun!

You only need BUTTONS (I used my Laura Kelly Brights Mix) giant paper clips (could use little ones too of course), felt (I used Kunin Group) and Aleene’s Max Tacky Glue. Cut out your felt flower layers then glue them together. Add a few buttons and wa-lah, you have super cute clips that can be used to hold paper together.

They make great bookmarks too and would be fun packaged with a journal or a cookbook or a gift card to a book store. I love this one packaged with a writing journal to give to a teacher.

What other ways can you think of to use these giant clips. I wonder how they would work to hold bags of chips closed.

Happy Creating,

Laura

DIY Craft a Rainbow

By Admin on March 14, 2014 in Kids Crafts

This is a really fun activity for kids, for kids of all ages that is. You can use this project as a guideline to create using a variety of bright materials but I, of course, love BUTTONS! You can find all of the colors of the rainbow in buttons in my Laura Kelly collection for Buttons Galore!

To create a rainbow of colorful fun, use a piece of waxed paper and create the arcs with Aleene’s Tacky Glue.

Then add objects in the colors of the rainbow to create the beauty. Buttons works GREAT but so do other embellishments and random things from around the house.
