There is always a new project going on around here.....so now it is hand dyed buttons. I love adding buttons to my stitching projects...but don't really like the colors out there. So what do I do? Dye buttons!!!! I have been busy for a week...dyed over 100 pounds of buttons...yes...they are EVERYWHERE! Lots of colors....Pumpkins, Yellows, Toffee, Butterscotch, Reds, Blues, Violets, etc. I will dye some trims to match soon...and some fabrics. Sounds like a lot of projects to keep me busy for sure. I am selling them in packs of 20 for $1.99. I like to price my items reasonable...in this economy we need reasonable! I have listed them in my ebay store today and will add trims and fabrics as they are available. I guess I better get back to counting buttons...one....two...three....
Well, I never heard of hand dyed buttons before but what a great idea. Your buttons look fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI'm very excited at the idea of hand dyed lace and trims and will definitely be looking out for those.

Thanks Margaret...it's a lot of fun to experiment with color and I love having limited editions as my friends well know. I just don't like something right off the shelf...I have to change it! I am dyeing ric rac, lace, cording, eyelet trim, etc...and having a blast! I will do aida and linen next.
ReplyDeletePerfect!!Look for my email Nancy~~~~
ReplyDeleteThe buttons are so cool!! I would never have thought of that. I surely will be checking out all the new things. I love stitching with your floss, so I know I will love the new things.
ReplyDeleteWho knew you could dye buttons! I am on my way over to eBay shortly.
ReplyDeleteNancy they look realy beautiful !!
ReplyDeleteThe buttons are great. Let me know if you will accept payment other than paypal for them. I am a registered ebay user but don't have paypal.
ReplyDeleteI love the buttons. I'm looking forward to seeing your other hand dyed projects and will then probably place an order for trims and buttons. Can never have too much of a good thing.
