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,
Laura
