BUTTON FAIRY TUTORIAL

I know I've shown this tutorial to some people already, but here it is again for those who havn't seen it.
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.

HAVE FUN

PS. I seem to be getting a lot of viewers from Israel, on this tutorial, and i would dearly love you to leave a comment or two on my blog.

Many thanks
