Hunting for vintage buttons at antique stores, The Red, White and Blue or in your Grandmother's attic, can be a whole lot of fun. The trick is, to put your intention to find the treasures of your dreams in motion, before you actually go out on your quest. It's the simple power of your imagination that propels the inner dream into your outer reality.
So, you did it, you found your fancies!...Now, I will walk you through the steps for making your very own vintage button necklace. First things first...Choose a handful of vintage buttons from your new inventory. I like to go with a mix of complimentary colors, textures and materials when choosing my buttons.
