Who wouldn’t smile if they received this jar of button posies? My only regret is that I did not have green wire for the stems. I am going to John Bead today to present this project to Lilla (John Bead Marketing Coordinator) and to pick up a whole lot more of the Dazzle-It wire!
For my wired buttons I used 18Ga silver.
Most of us have more than a few buttons stashed in drawers. If you are lucky you might have a vintage jar of Grandma’s buttons to use for this project.
I start each posy by bending my wire in two. I keep one side long so that it will act as the final tall stem.
Then I add any number of buttons and components. You can see how I chose to wire wrap a stopper for this sample.
Most buttons are very light weight. Even a tiny twist holds everything in place.
I wire wrapped a tiny bulb to add to my bouquet.
And I also added this tiny electrical component.
My wired bouquet is ready to present. I plan to add a little resin into the glass jar so that all my wires will be permanently attached to the vase.
If you are wondering where to get some super cute buttons, John Bead sells these button jars!
