With my children and grandchildren, our family is large. I thought of making a button for each family member, decorating each one and writing each persons name on a button. They could be strung together, then add some tiny baubles or bells between each button and hung up across a wall, window or archway over the Christmas period. I’m so excited to do this and can’t wait to get started. I also have family and friends who’ll be getting one as a Christmas gift. Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea. I just love it.
OK, it's me again. I just thought I'd collect some of the great ideas from the livechat. Catherine: a buttons only journal - LOVE this! Thrifty Apprentice: embellish real purse or handbag - super idea! might need varnish for weatherproofing. Or would work on spectacle case or similar. Daydreamer Designs/Kelly Lea/Planning with Donna (and maybe others): Car dangle - cool! Finally Crafting: put on ribbon or elastic round plain vase; party name tags - love both of these! Sorry if I missed anyone!
You were the first one I watched on how to make a junk journal. I have seen several others and gotten ideas. You are by far the best one! Beautiful covers, pages, ephemera, ideas, your step by step directions and so much more. Love watching you because you are so inspiring. Excited on what I will learn next!😊
Thank you so much for all the little tidbits you always throw in. You are most definitely my idol, so thank you for always being so willing to share what you do, with us. And I, like many others, LOVE when you go off on one of your tangents! I either learn something new, laugh, or become "mesmerized" 😂. Please don't ever stop being YOU! Once again, thank you so much for sharing all that you do. 🙏🏻
WOW!..I am just blown away, ...You are a artistic junk journal genius...The things you come up with out of ordinary stuff is incredible...I am so glad I found your channel...I, so do, enjoy listening to your voice, pleasant and clear, when explaining instruction or just giving options...............
Oh my gooooodness. I went straight into my craft room. (Conservatory) lol. And started cutting. I just love these. I will make a jacket and just fill it with buttons. When I'm done I will show you.
I don't remember waiting for any video as eagerly as I waited for this one for a long, long time. I seem to be obssessed with these buttons, and I've been walking around the house and collecting bits and bobs of fabric, cardboard, magazine pictures, music sheets and whatnot that I could use for my buttons. I pre-cut around fifty buttons out of two sturdy paper shopping bags while watching a movie last night and now I am deliciously fretting over a big question: should I collage over them and make them into outer pieces or should I stack and glue a few of them and use them as a filler to fortify my buttons... 🤔💖 What a sweet dilemma! I absolutely love your ideas and these button videos have really struck a creative cord! 🤷♀️ Love from Switzerland 🤗💚 P.S. That must've been the thickest cookbook I have ever seen! Hopefully it is not only used for crafting... 😊
Absolutely beautiful as all your work! So inspiring too. I have learned so much from watching your videos and have saved them all for reference. Natasha, you are my favorite artist and I thank you for being a wonderful teacher as well!! ❤❤❤
I love how you always show us how to use the creations rather than just leave us turning in the wind as so many others do. The myriad ways you use embellishments are always delightful and inventive. I'll bet you can get even more ideas going back to your circles video - one of my faves and I go back to it all the time. TFS! (BTW, I call my craft room The Laboratory, said in my best Boris Karloff impression.)
My granddaughter has named my Journaling room The Art Studio. She has her own table and has made her own junk journals. Passing on to keep our hobby alive!!
I absolutely love the saying that you made up. You can't buy happiness but you can make I'm going to adopt that. And of course I'm going to make buttons
Thank you Natasa, you are so creative, so talented and a great teacher, always so clear in the explanations and generous in suggesting the various uses of your wonderful works. I can't wait to get to work, I think they could be used to make some napkin rings or curtain holders, to decorate a summer straw hat, I love boxes and I have several round ones that I keep various objects in, I think it would be nice to decorate some only one with buttons of each size. You can use two very very large buttons as a front and back cover and create a round notebook with round sheets hand-sewn on the side. In short, as always you are a great inspiration, I'm glad you are better, send you love 🌷
The Christmas ornaments made me think 'button garland'. You could use it to decorate year round. Also, if you have the room, an entire button Christmas tree. With a giant button at the top instead of a star or angel.
Every idea is great!! Fun to make a Christmas ornament!! My fav is the elastic closures with large button!! Worth the wait...thanks thanks to the button queen
I thought of a garland when you shared #11 Window Decoration. Easy to keep adding the oversized buttons until they work for the space you'd like to decorate.
As soon as you put the number 2 on the canvas I though of your whimsical houses . The buttons could just be 1 sun in the sky, or it can be a window or a door. They can be the head and body of a bird. It can be a field of whimsical flowers.It's driving me crazy because we are moving very soon and all my stuff is packed. I thought of leaving them out to until last but then I would have more things to pack. As soon as I am settled I am going to have a button pallooza. Thank you so much. every time you post a video you are so inspiring my mind takes off running. Thank you again.
Thank you for the advice on selling and presenting the buttons! Would love to see a video completely devoted to how to present and sell our journals. I love your style and your outlook on “using what you have”. It’s very unique and refreshing!
I like the idea of using 2 buttons as the actual covers of a journal. You could also put several holes along one edge of a big button and loop ribbon through them. So much fun. Thanks Natasha.
W-O-W!! THANK YOU for sharing your beautiful and creative ways to use these adorable buttons! I'm sure making these buttons will be another "addiction" to my list of craft- mania-.collections...and I'm SO excited to go on a binge! Thx for your inspiration!
Your wonderful creations just keep coming. Thank you for teaching, not only how to make, but all the possibilities to do! Some are so simple once you do, but I know I would never have thought of them. My head is full of ideas thanks to you! 😊💗🥰
1/12/24: OMG, this is by far one of the most innovative and creative things to make and I am SO looking forward to making a few of my own. You've given me so many ideas to put together some incredible buttons for various projects. I especially like the junk journal as well as earrings best, not to mention the various textures and fabrics that can be utilized. I'm feeling like, who knew that one could go crazy in making...buttons? 🤔 Nevertheless, thank you so much for the inspiration and for the time you took in sharing this wonderful idea with everyone. I'm loving it! 😊
I have a vintage button ring I bought off Etsy and get compliments on it whenever I wear it. You could make rings too with some smaller buttons. Thanks for sharing!
Soooo beautiful Natasa !!! I'm loving your handmade buttons soooo much ☺️🤗 soo much fun to be had with these cuties and soo beautifully packaged . Hugs and blessings !!!
I love your videos they are always so inspiring; you are a treasure trove of ideas. I also so appreciate all your thrifty ideas as well. Never would have thought of looking in a fishing store for supplies although when I am in a hardware store I do. And another fabulous idea for ribbon crimps. Another idea would be to write family and friends names and Birthdates on each button and hang as a dangle or make some kind of decor item. I had to read through the replies to see what other ideas had come up. Who would have thought you could do so much with buttons. They would look great as decoration on hats or as scarf ties, see now you have my brain swirling with ideas. You're the best Natasa Take Care Hugs and Smiles
Oh Natasha you did make me laugh when you said that the heart poking out looked like a bum 😂😂😂so many creative ideas. Thankyou so much for your channel.. 🎉
You are so creative, Ilove your ideas & how beautiful they all are. Thank you for sharing. You truly inspire me to get busy & create. And you are awesome the way you show how to make it then how to use it. I so appreciate everything on your channel.😊❤
😍😍😍wow....love it! So many ideas ( using fishing swivels is just 💡) and thank you so much for showing all the examples. You are such an inspiration 🙂 with all your ideas that you so freely share with us here. Big thank you 🙏 and a big hug too!
I love all the uses you have shown in this tutorial. I’m looking forward to using some of them. I have made a few of the smaller sized buttons just to get the feel of it. I love making them! I did have to giggle at the “some sort of fishing thing” lol. The country girl came out in me when you said I don’t know what they’re used for. You tie your fishing line on one end & attach your fishing lure to the other. Your line won’t tangle as you reel your lure through the water. And I’ve used them 50 plus years fishing but never thought to used them in my crafting! Going to get me some more! 🤣
Nice ideas. I like the dangling chain of buttons best - in fact, that was the 1st idea that came to my head. I'd love to see a full set of long (top of door to bottom) of various sized buttons made into a curtain (the way you'd see a beaded curtain), or a wall hanging. I also thought it'd be cool to see several glued around a picture frame, mirror 🪞, or the background of a large hanging clock - (you can buy clock kits for the numbers, hands, & time mechanism). Thank you for sharing, and especially for your tip on the swivels! I'll definitely be getting some of THEM!
Thank you for another inspiring Video! Hope you are feeling better now. Do you sell at craft markets? Ideas: 1) Paint button with gold/silver etc acrylic paint and thread fine chain through. 2) Attach button to bow and glue onto popsicle stick, attach a little message to it. Then make some more, place in small vase and gift to a loved one. Could spray with a little perfume or add drops of scented oil to the stick.
All of these are so beautiful! I especially love number 11 and will make a chime for the window in my craft room! I took something away from each idea! Thank you so much!
Glue a button to a clothes peg/pin and glue a magnet strip to the other side. You could put it on the fridge. You could glue it to a hook for decoration. Use more cereal boxes to make a round box and use the button for the top. You could just glue a magnet on the back of a button. A fan/light pull. At my mom’s chiropractor a lady is selling flowers made from real buttons. They are on wire and stuck in glass salt shakers from the Dollar Tree. You could do the same with paper buttons. With the felt buttons, you could sew them on a t-shirt or sweater for decoration. You could use them to spell words or names on shirts. I love your ideas. I’m always thinking/looking of/for ways to reuse things and craft with things others would throw away.
Wow, I’ve always loved buttons and yours are just phenomenal, love them! You never cease to amaze me with such epic creative ideas…do you ever sleep?! Your packaging ideas are so beautiful, sincere thanks for all the wonderful videos you put out, I most certainly appreciate them 🥰🏆⭐️🥇💐
Silent member of the premiere. It was fun to watch! The buttons are amazing and I love all the different ideas! ... I just didn't want to overshadow what anyone else was talking about lol
Wow wow dear Natasha, you never stop surprising us with your amazing creative new ideas 😍😍😍 Every single idea is stunning on its own 🥹🤍🤍 OMG I thought about that heart shape thing the same thing once I saw it then you just said it looks like a … 😂😂😂😂 how creative and funny you are. Thank you for all your amazing videos 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Hello again Natasha, WOW what a beautiful list of ideas. Yes, that's our creative Natasha at work. Thanks so very much for taking the time to give us such beautiful inspirations. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
You were showing the top of the heart tag sticking out of the journal page, when you said it looked like a “bum” from here, then “disregard that comment”… You made me laugh too much! 😂But thank you for that, and know that I’ll never look at a heart the same way again! ❤😂 Also, I love your channel and I’m looking forward to reading your new book! Congratulations! 👍🏻😊🔖📔🎉
I am here from the tutorial and I am amazed how there are so many way to use them, I love the altered paper clips version - cannot wait to get into my studio now :) Thank you so much!
maybe a video on making the packaging would be an idea. Your packaging is gorgeous and I know I need help packaging . thank you. As always your videos are perfect.
My first thought when I saw your window decoration was these buttons would be fun to add to a beaded curtain 😊 I haven't started down the button making rabbit hole, but it is definitely filed in my future project box! TFS Natasha ❤
Richaela, I thought the same thing! I have a closet in my craft room with a folding door and been thinking for months about stringing beads there. Now I want to add buttons!
So glad you’re feeling better!! Love love love all the ideas!!! And you are always so inspiring! I say it every week, but you really do make me feel like I can do it!! Of course, the things that I do don’t look like they do in my mind, but I keep practicing! Thanks for the inspiration, and taking the time to share it with us! Much❤
Great project! I just love all of your ideas! You are such a inspiration to me and I am sure to many others! May God continue to bless you and your family always!
Good morning, Natasha! This is a remarkable video! How creative can one person be? You’re amazing! As someone else mentioned, your voice is so pleasant. I often keep RUclips running on our TV while I’m doing chores. I’m in and out, but I get to see a lot of you! Confession: I get less housework done, because I just have to stop and watch so often! Ha! You have a great sense of style, and coordinate colors beautifully. I don’t know if you’ve had any training in this area. If not, you didn’t even need it!😉 I think your packaging method could make anything look beautiful! I have to tell you that I was touched by the things you shared about your journey as your family migrated to Australia. I can’t help but believe that the years you, and I, lived with little money taught us to be more creative. My mother taught me how to squeeze a dime into a dollar! She’s much the reason that she and daddy were able to rear four girls with such small salaries. We were what today I would most likely consider “poor”, but we didn’t know it. We didn’t need a lot of money, we had lots of love! My mother sewed beautifully. She made almost everything we wore. I consider myself blessed by my childhood. The swivels. I was daddy’s third daughter. He wasn’t getting a boy, so I became his fishing buddy. (I also have the privilege of being named after him, and I look like his mother! 😍) I spent many an afternoon fishing from the shore at a local lake with him. And on the way home, we always had the special treat of stopping at the little store near the lake, and getting an ice cold coke! Sometimes, we’d pour a bag of salted & roasted peanuts in. The mixture of sweet & salty was so yummy! It’s a southern treat. I’m from Mississippi, in the Deep South of the United States. 😃 The swivel was part of the setup connecting the line with, eventually, the lure or live bait. You had to tie it on just right, or off your lure or live bait would fly! Oops! The most special purpose it served was to “swivel”, to spin and turn, preventing the line from getting twisted and tangled as you cast it, and reeled it in. Thank you so much for sharing yourself, and your creative talents with us.❤ It’s not taken lightly, at all. I know it’s a lot of work. When I first found you, I believe you must have recently begun making your videos. You seemed a bit nervous. But now, you’re owning it! You look like you’re enjoying it as much as we are! ❤️ God bless you and your family! Jacqui ❤
Thank you so much for sharing such cute ideas. I will be doing some of this in my journals and other uses. The fishing swivels are for tying your line on one end and your hook the other.
With my children and grandchildren, our family is large. I thought of making a button for each family member, decorating each one and writing each persons name on a button. They could be strung together, then add some tiny baubles or bells between each button and hung up across a wall, window or archway over the Christmas period. I’m so excited to do this and can’t wait to get started. I also have family and friends who’ll be getting one as a Christmas gift. Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea. I just love it.
Very cute idea!!!
Be sure to sign/date each button! We seem to forget that our creations will be saved and passed on to future generations.
What a great idea! You could make a garland of different sizes for your tree!
That’s a great idea !
Doritos box is a fun secret on the back. 🤣 TFS all these fun ideas! 💙💙💙
OK, it's me again. I just thought I'd collect some of the great ideas from the livechat.
Catherine: a buttons only journal - LOVE this!
Thrifty Apprentice: embellish real purse or handbag - super idea! might need varnish for weatherproofing. Or would work on spectacle case or similar.
Daydreamer Designs/Kelly Lea/Planning with Donna (and maybe others): Car dangle - cool!
Finally Crafting: put on ribbon or elastic round plain vase; party name tags - love both of these!
Sorry if I missed anyone!

Oh my gooooodness. I went straight into my craft room. (Conservatory) lol. And started cutting. I just love these. I will make a jacket and just fill it with buttons. When I'm done I will show you.
I don't remember waiting for any video as eagerly as I waited for this one for a long, long time. I seem to be obssessed with these buttons, and I've been walking around the house and collecting bits and bobs of fabric, cardboard, magazine pictures, music sheets and whatnot that I could use for my buttons.

I absolutely love your ideas and these button videos have really struck a creative cord! 🤷♀️ Love from Switzerland 🤗💚
P.S. That must've been the thickest cookbook I have ever seen! Hopefully it is not only used for crafting... 😊

Thank you so much, Natasa, for your wonderful videos and tutorials. Oh my, button mania might be around the next corner. Sounds very exciting!❤
What brilliant ideas these are. I love and sort of envy that everything you do is always elegant. Thanks for teaching us.
Your dangle on the spine reminds me of a hanging cluster of grapes. Love the idea of sewing the button onto the spine and adding the dangles above it.
You have ideas i would never think of! So fun to watch! Thank you! Blessings
Thank you so much!
These items are just charming, so many colors and textures to feast the eye upon…endless talent, you never run out of ideas. Superior work!! 🦋🧡🧵🧡🪡🧡🦋

Thank you for another inspiring Video! Hope you are feeling better now. Do you sell at craft markets? Ideas: 1) Paint button with gold/silver etc acrylic paint and thread fine chain through. 2) Attach button to bow and glue onto popsicle stick, attach a little message to it. Then make some more, place in small vase and gift to a loved one. Could spray with a little perfume or add drops of scented oil to the stick.

Glue a button to a clothes peg/pin and glue a magnet strip to the other side. You could put it on the fridge.
You could glue it to a hook for decoration.
Use more cereal boxes to make a round box and use the button for the top.
You could just glue a magnet on the back of a button.
A fan/light pull.
At my mom’s chiropractor a lady is selling flowers made from real buttons. They are on wire and stuck in glass salt shakers from the Dollar Tree. You could do the same with paper buttons.
With the felt buttons, you could sew them on a t-shirt or sweater for decoration. You could use them to spell words or names on shirts.

Your buttons are beautiful. Believe me I’ll try tomorrow.
So cute! Thank you for sharing how to use these sweet buttons.
What a marvelous way to use these big beautiful homemade buttons!
So, ive got about forty made. You're right, they're addicting. Love them.
Hello Natasa, how fabulous these are, so many possibilities. TFS💙
I love how you show multiple ways to use your amazing creations.
You were showing the top of the heart tag sticking out of the journal page, when you said it looked like a “bum” from here, then “disregard that comment”… You made me laugh too much! 😂But thank you for that, and know that I’ll never look at a heart the same way again! ❤😂
Also, I love your channel and I’m looking forward to reading your new book! Congratulations! 👍🏻😊🔖📔🎉
I am here from the tutorial and I am amazed how there are so many way to use them, I love the altered paper clips version - cannot wait to get into my studio now :) Thank you so much!
maybe a video on making the packaging would be an idea. Your packaging is gorgeous and I know I need help packaging . thank you. As always your videos are perfect.
YOUR SITE IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, THANK YOU KIND LADY 🥰🥰🥰

Those are amazing ideas for using the buttons. Thanks for sharing.
So glad you’re feeling well enough to be here! I made some: I’m using a few for planner/folder closures instead of brads.
Excellent idea!
I love all your creative work and your sense of humor is adorable!!! 😂😂
Thank you so much!!
Natasha! Very creative and beautiful! I love these ideas!❤🎉
I’m making these while sitting here watching you ❤.
loved this idea my head is buzzing with ideas you are amazing love the journal and button with ribbon closure tfs angel of crafting
Thank you! 😊 I’m so glad!
❤ Great ideas!!
What cool ideas! I bought a small round punch to start!!!
My first thought when I saw your window decoration was these buttons would be fun to add to a beaded curtain 😊
I haven't started down the button making rabbit hole, but it is definitely filed in my future project box!
TFS Natasha ❤
Richaela, I thought the same thing! I have a closet in my craft room with a folding door and been thinking for months about stringing beads there. Now I want to add buttons!
You make the whole curtain out of the paper buttons! I had the same idea Richaela and Mary!
So glad you’re feeling better!! Love love love all the ideas!!! And you are always so inspiring! I say it every week, but you really do make me feel like I can do it!!
Of course, the things that I do don’t look like they do in my mind, but I keep practicing! Thanks for the inspiration, and taking the time to share it with us! Much❤
Wow Natasa this video was absolutely, positively inspiring. You really are amazing and your ideas are mind blowing! I love them all.❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!
Love the buttons - will definitely be making some of these. Will watch the next video for applications. Thanks
Great project! I just love all of your ideas! You are such a inspiration to me and I am sure to many others! May God continue to bless you and your family always!
Good morning, Natasha!
This is a remarkable video! How creative can one person be? You’re amazing! As someone else mentioned, your voice is so pleasant. I often keep RUclips running on our TV while I’m doing chores. I’m in and out, but I get to see a lot of you! Confession: I get less housework done, because I just have to stop and watch so often! Ha!
You have a great sense of style, and coordinate colors beautifully. I don’t know if you’ve had any training in this area. If not, you didn’t even need it!😉
I think your packaging method could make anything look beautiful!
I have to tell you that I was touched by the things you shared about your journey as your family migrated to Australia. I can’t help but believe that the years you, and I, lived with little money taught us to be more creative. My mother taught me how to squeeze a dime into a dollar! She’s much the reason that she and daddy were able to rear four girls with such small salaries. We were what today I would most likely consider “poor”, but we didn’t know it. We didn’t need a lot of money, we had lots of love! My mother sewed beautifully. She made almost everything we wore. I consider myself blessed by my childhood.
The swivels. I was daddy’s third daughter. He wasn’t getting a boy, so I became his fishing buddy. (I also have the privilege of being named after him, and I look like his mother! 😍) I spent many an afternoon fishing from the shore at a local lake with him. And on the way home, we always had the special treat of stopping at the little store near the lake, and getting an ice cold coke! Sometimes, we’d pour a bag of salted & roasted peanuts in. The mixture of sweet & salty was so yummy! It’s a southern treat. I’m from Mississippi, in the Deep South of the United States. 😃
The swivel was part of the setup connecting the line with, eventually, the lure or live bait. You had to tie it on just right, or off your lure or live bait would fly! Oops!
The most special purpose it served was to “swivel”, to spin and turn, preventing the line from getting twisted and tangled as you cast it, and reeled it in.
Thank you so much for sharing yourself, and your creative talents with us.❤
It’s not taken lightly, at all. I know it’s a lot of work. When I first found you, I believe you must have recently begun making your videos. You seemed a bit nervous. But now, you’re owning it! You look like you’re enjoying it as much as we are! ❤️
God bless you and your family!

Simply amazing! Love this ideas!!! Thank you once again! Kiss from Portugal.
Thank you so much for sharing such cute ideas. I will be doing some of this in my journals and other uses.
The fishing swivels are for tying your line on one end and your hook the other.
This is such a great idea. You are so amazing in your creativity. I had to chuckle about your heart button with the wedgy.😂❤
i call my craft room my sanctuary!!
