Button up for Valentine's Day


7 days before V-Day, there is enough time to make a button heart as a celebration of all creativity! Just take a small piece of leather (or sturdy fabric) and cut it in heart shape. Choose some beautiful buttons - I used a pink color range - and start sewing the buttons on the leather, overlapping each other. When you feel that you are finished, take a small piece of chiffong, fold it double, sew a loose seam on the open side, make it ruffled and sew it on around the edge of the heart. Fasten ribbons on both sides (so you can tie the heart around you neck). Sew a heart shape fabric on the back side for nice finish.
