It's a basic tutorial on how to make a button fairy.
First I took an approx 10" (25cm) piece of flexible wire.
Threaded buttons on, leaving wire at top and bottom free.
I then added beads to the bottom half and curled it round to finish it off
I collaged a face and wings onto card
Notice under the face i left card to enable me to glue the first button on to the face.
Button wire attached to the face
excess wire at the top was formed into a hanging loop
I added gemstones and feathers and glitter
HERE ARE 2 MORE THAT I MADE
MADE WITH RESIN BUTTERFLY
(CHRISTMAS DECORATION)
MERMAID BUTTERFLY
This technique can also be used for other things.
BUTTON FAIRY ATC
BUTTON FLOWERS
I flattened these just so that i could scan them
These would look beautiful in a silver topped sugar shaker.

Margaret! These are incredible! What a mind you have. I have old buttons by the liters here at Dog Patch! You'll have to E me with your snail mail addy so I can put together a 'Creative Care Package' so you can make more of these! I have a cleaning crew coming tomorrow a.m. to help me muck out, sort and organize DP and all the threads and trims I have. I'll start you a box of goodies.
