OK, so Mr Mojo and I have made up - we had a bit of therapy which consisted of lots of cake and copious amounts of tea!
Anyway, enough about my waistline, how are you all? Hope good!
I have a super-duper, easy-peasy Tute for you all today, HERE is the inspiration. I'm sure you could do it without my help, but here it is anyways ;)
Button Bracelets and Brooch(not shown in this pic)...
You will need for the Bracelets:
Buttons with 4 holes
Garden Twine or Bakers Twine
Scissors
Step 1:
Cut 2 long lengths of twine. Take one piece and thread one end through a button hole...
...using the same piece of twine take the other end and thread through the next button hole...
...Pull both ends through, until you have a small loop at the back of the button...
Step 2:
Flip both ends backwards, over the button and through the loop...
...pull tight...
Step 3:
Do the same with the other length of twine in the other 2 button holes...
Step 4:
Tie onto your wrist (cut off any excess, but leave a bit so you can take off and re-tie back on when you want)...
...and make some more...
Button Brooch
You will need:
Decorative button with shank
Safety Pin
Step 1:
Flip button over, open safety pin and push open end through shank...
Step 2:
Pin onto your fave scarf...
Job done :)
Voilà, easy-peasy crafting for a rainy day or just because!
Take care and I'll be back soon!

Heres one to add...here in Canada where everything costs zillons of dollars..I came across button bracelets in a vintage shop...using elastic (thread like) and measuring your wrist...with thread like elastic, threading lots of colourful buttons..well you will gasp...they were 15$ in a vintage shop no less......tracking down thread like elastic now that will take a minute..you know the elastic that is on the paddle bags...rambling...
