What an absolutely awesome and inspiring project using shank buttons! I have a ton of these type of buttons as I ended up with my grandmother's and mother's button tins. They are rather large tins of buttons, and I have been using buttons from there quite a bit, but I hadn't really figured out a way to use these metal shank buttons in a journal. This is just the right project . And I have to tell you these hidden paper clips with the tab is way more beautiful than other hidden paper clips that I have seen because of the tabs and the dangles. I can't wait to make a bunch of them to have on hand. In fact as I've been watching this video I I've been looking at buttons so I can have some sorted out to use tomorrow. By the way, a dental floss threader ( loke you use to thread dental floss under bridgework for your teeth in your mouth) works quite well to thread thin cording or threads through holes, and it is much tougher and cheaper than a thread threader because it is made out of a tougher plastic. We use them all the time in my rosary making group to pull the thin cording through beads and it takes quite a while before the threader breaks. Many people loose them before they break.😂😅😊
I love how these turned out. Also love your method without all the folding ... I always get confused with the folding. These are so cute!! Thank you for sharing. PS I too have purchased resale shop items just for the buttons! 🙂
1898 was when my paternal grandmother was born. Her and my grandfather were married shortly after his return from the end of WW1. I guess what I’m getting at is her new coat with the fancy buttons. She had been so proud until a bird flew over and ruined it with bird poop that stained it. She saved the buttons and would show my cousin and I when we spent summers with them. Oh how I wish I had them now.
I use these shank buttons quite often for journal fasteners where you push the shank through a small hole and apply a small amount of wire through the shank on the inside. You can then use it for tying to. I also find the shank is easy to remove using wire cutters 😊
I absolutely love the hidden paper clips with the dangles. Great quick project that looks beautiful in a journal. I definitely wii be making these with the buttons and dangle. I love your gorgeous button collection. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Dear Margreth (and dear Daisy 💗), thank you so much for your being such a gifted creator/ maker and sharing with us your crafty adventures ❣ Concerning the acetate butterfly: I use Glossy Accents quite successfully for glueing acetate, metals and other items having a smooth surface... sending LOVE to you and your loved ones 🥰
I just recently found your videos and I love watching you and all your lovely creations! Those buttons with the anchors or crest are from military uniforms !
You did it again another wonderful idea, with a twist, love it, I have a few buttons like that and now I know how tom use, thank you so much for sharing, big hugs and kisses to the cats.
deze paperclip dingen zijn weer totaal anders dan wat je eerder hebt gemaakt... en door die knopen met oogje weer verrassend anders. erg goed idee van je! want deze knopen zijn vaak erg mooi maar moeilijk op te plakken...maar zo gaat het prima! ook leuk met een kantje/ lintje....voor op een kaart trouwens! dank je wel weer voor je inspiratie en tot woensdag! benieuwd wat je dan gaat maken...🤗😘😊
Hello Margreth 😊 very beautiful and lovely ❤ like you i have a big buttons collection and i am sure i made one for my junk journal for next week 😊❤ ! Thank you so much Margreth ! Have a good saturday !
So happy I found you - so many amazing ideas! And entertaining, too ... "are you okay needle threader?" 🤣🤣 Thank you for the detailed instructions; can't wait to make some of these!
Ho I was looking through my buttons like lunatic 🤣🤣🤣, what a great idea margreth, I've usually thrown them in a jar on there own as I didn't know what to to with them, but now they will be used thank you lovey 🥰😘
I love watching your videos!!. I always learn something inspiring AND you make me giggle. I know I will always have a fun time watching your channel. Thank you for sharing your work with us ❤❤❤
Shank buttons is what I have always called these kind of buttons. I have been successful in cutting off the shank with using the cutting tool I use with plastic canvass craft. But I love your use of the shank buttons with this projects!!! 44:38
Loved this! Going to hunt out my, my, mum's, and even some from my granny's collection of shank buttons! Having a 'movable' (not so decorated) tab for separating my stamps and die sets, also seems a good idea...for the moment anyway, and decorated ones, for my other stuff still waiting to be finished off.... one day! 😊
I believe they are called shank buttons. Not positive though. 🤷♀️
Yes that's what they are called😊
Yep. Shanks
Yes
And you can use needlenose plyers and cut off shank and then glue to page
😘😁👍🏻
