Cute as a button!

Button necklace

I used a selection of pink, mauve and neutral buttons from my stash, threaded them through with waxed linen cord and tied in a knot after each one. I used sliding knots for the closure so that you can put it on over your head and then pull to shorten or lengthen to the position you prefer. 

Off to raid the button stash some more, Christmas is coming and the list is long!

My buttons and beads are now in little red suitcases. These suitcases remind me of a little case full of paper dress-up dolls from 'Bunty' and 'Twinkle' that some friends of mine had when I was a little girl. I always wanted a little red suitcase like that! So here they are, keeping buttons and beads handy for when I make notebook covers.
