Your dog is an important part of your family so why not make a Dog Treat Jar? If you’re a dog lover, you’re gonna love the Buttons Galore Dog Gone It buttons.

Dog Treat Jar

Ya know anything looks great in displayed in a Mason Jar. Even plain ole’ Milk Bones.

To embellish the jar lid, I adhered a piece of patterned paper on the lid then used Ultra Thin Glue Dots to adhere various Buttons Galore Dog Gone It buttons.

Buttons Galore makel Blank Craft Shapes that are perfect to use if you want to customize a tag.

1. Choose a Blank Shape

2. Ink with color

3. Set the ink with a heat gun.

Taa Daa-There you have it, a cute Dog Treat Jar tag!

My dog has no interest in eating plain Milk Bones. She’s only interested in the gravy covered Milk Bones like the in the jar. When I was done taking the photos of this project, I came back in the room a few hours later and noticed my dog bone props were missing off the table. Hmmm…I wonder who might of snatched them??

Mason Jar Fairy Lanterns

By Admin on April 12, 2013 in Home Decor, Occasions, Party Planning

Spring sprang and summer is on the way which means warmer weather and more time outdoors…whether playing, celebrating or entertaining. This little recycled mason jar acts as a great fairy lantern that can be used as a candle jar, party decoration or a jar to be filled with goodies for favors.

To make it you will need assorted Laura Kelly buttons, wire that it easily bendable (I used electrical fence wire from the garage) and feeds through the button holes and pieces of ribbon (5 inches long) and a mason jar without the lid.

To make it simply feed the wire through the buttons twisting and turning to create bright and colorful design then tie the ribbon pieces in knots along the wire. Twist the wire to go around the top of the jar then use the remaining length to create a handle, twisting the wire through the piece that went around it to secure.

It is simple, fun and easy and makes for a great quick project that you can complete in around fifteen minutes! It is one of those creations that has lots of great uses and ways to spread bright joy and light.

Button and Burlap Hostess Gift

By Carla Schauer on June 15, 2012 in Spring

I have a hostess gift to share today using Buttons Galore and More buttons and a cute flowerpot die-cut shape. Of course I’ve included burlap to fit with our monthly theme!

I used the following materials:

Buttons from the Buttons Galore and More Spring Blossom Grab Bag
Nestabilities Flower Pots die from Spellbinders (smallest)
Raspberry Hemp Cording
Terra Cotta textured cardstock
22 gauge and 16 gauge wire (kelly green)
Light blue burlap
Liquid Craft Glue
Double sided tape or adhesive dots
Wire cutters and round-nose pliers

I started by cutting the smallest Flower Pot die from the Terra Cotta cardstock using my die-cut machine. The die embosses the cardstock at the same time as it cuts.

Then I folded over and glued the top part of the die-cut to create the top of the pot, and tied a hemp cording bow. I selected flower-shaped and round buttons with interesting patterns in several colors from the Spring Blossoms Grab Bag for the flowers.

I cut 5 pieces of 16 gauge wire (smaller gauge numbers=thicker wire) to the lengths I wanted for flower stems, then set them aside. I cut 5 pieces of 22 gauge wire and threaded the thin wire through the buttons (connecting stacked buttons), with open ends toward the back of the button. I added a dot of glue to the back of the button, pressed the thick wire stem into the glue, and twisted the thin wire ends together securing the wire stem to the button flower.

Once all my flowers were secured to their stems, I arranged them on a 2″ strip of light blue burlap long enough to wrap around the glass candle jar and glued them in place. Once the flower pot was glued on top of the flower stems, I attached the wrap onto the jar using double sided tape. (Wrap must be removed before using candle, so make sure this adhesive isn’t permanent.)

This type of wrap also works well on vases for a fun summer home decor project. I’ll be using mine for a game night prize!
