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.

Hello all Re-fashionistas! This is my first contribution to this great community, I hope you like it. I'm into reusing and remaking and use to call my stuff for "beauty reborn" 'cause there are so much beautiful things just waiting for new users. Already Cinderella was a reuser/remaker - remember her gown...but her shoes were new (!?). So here are Cinderellas new shoes - old pumps, newspaper, lace, crocheted flower, voilá :-))

Mostly I reuse clothes and make different kinds of bags under my own label Mirkka. If you are curious you're welcome to visit my webshop at www.mirkka.com which is in english also. I also blog, but the blog is only in Swedish.

Have a nice day, we have a sunny but cold day today, -9° C.
