Button Embellished Socks

I love the mixed color collection of Laura Kelly buttons and keep finding fun ways to use them.

When socks get work and need a little bit of fancying up, here is a great way to make them fun again.  The first step is to wash them and get them bright and white again.  I recommend Rit’s Laundry Whitener and Brightener.  If they are too far gone, you can dye them a fun new color.  When they are clean and dry, sew on miscellaneous buttons to decorate them.  I used embroidery floss to get a secure stitch.

Awesome way to up cycle worn out apparel.

It would be fun to do them in school colors  (or football team colors) or to match a favorite outfit.  I think I might try them on a pair of knee socks next.

Happy Buttons,

Tie-Dye Pajama Party with Rit and Buttons

A Party without buttons and bright colors, well that’s hardly a party to me!

Several of the Buttons Galore Design Team members and myself participated in a “Pajama Party to DYE For” this week with some fantastic creative new friends from Rit Studio.  I created and brought the goody bags and, of course, added bright Laura Kelly Buttons to the elements in them. They ended up being a part of the party!  Here are a few pictures from the creations being made.

Yes, those are buttons on my tweezers and buttons on the mini journals.

I added buttons into jars too, just in case we wanted to use them at the party.

Which we did.  I sewed a scrap flower from my dyed PJ remnants and added a button center.  The tearing of the fabric, sewing of the ribbon and adding the button took me about fifteen minutes!   I think it came our really cute and can’t wait to wear them!  It just goes to show, a party just isn’t complete with dye and buttons!  It was a BLAST and then more fun on top of that.

To learn more about our celebration of creativity and color, search the hashtag #pjrit around the web and see what you can find.

Happy Adding Buttons To Your Parties!
