I hate paying for really nice buttons, and I struggle to find ones that I think are exactly perfect. After you've put so much time into knitting a pretty sweater, why settle for buttons that are just okay? This is EASY and not expensive at all. I did link to the materials below! I hope you try it out, because anyone can do it! See you soon! Thanks, I love you! Bye!

Love how you have matched the buttons to your knitting, isn’t that the joy of being so creative.

@runtsgal 11 месяцев назад

That makes the garment so special and individual. Love it.

@ritaorr766 11 месяцев назад

And if you do it yourself, you have an item that is completely unique like you! Love your creative style!

@LeighaNBRT 11 месяцев назад

I never thought to make my own buttons! Great solution when you can't find the perfect pre-made buttons.

@teresac.m.355 11 месяцев назад

The buttons came out perfect for that sweater

@kathytedford9178 11 месяцев назад

What a fun project. A long time ago when I was a kid, I made earrings and a pendant out of polymer clay. I always forget about that when I can’t find what I am looking for. Thank you for the reminder

@Andracrafts 11 месяцев назад

What a fun project! I love how "extra" you are!

@nynurse2 2 месяца назад

These are BEAUTIFUL! ❤ They match your sweater perfectly!

@erikagrinder2909 11 месяцев назад

I want to make buttons now... I have all the supplies in my stash already, I am so glad to know that I am not the only one with a crazy random stash. :-) Trust the process!!!

@GemRaven 10 месяцев назад

They turned out beautifully Trish.

@KathleenLockhart-ry7sd 11 месяцев назад

Love the buttons! I’m the same way. If I spend all that time knitting a sweater it has to have the perfect buttons.

@GirlScoutLoriC 11 месяцев назад

You are so talented Trish! They are beautiful and go with the sweater perfectly.❤

@beverleylawton6899 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for a fun video! I don’t even need any buttons but find myself desperate to make some🤷🏼‍♀️ You are, as I keep telling you SO inspirational! Thank you so much for all your wonderful content…I appreciate you😊

@sandrahageman9955 11 месяцев назад

Great learning opportunity for me. I don’t like shopping for buttons.

@Craftingwithmybuddies 10 месяцев назад

Something else fun you could add to the buttons is tiny metal eyelets/gromets that are made for crafting . It will add just that multi-medium touch to them.

@teenyw 11 месяцев назад

Love these buttons. The silver leaf is a cool effect!

@irinialexandridi3522 11 месяцев назад

I have played around with that stuff, but nothing came out. It's nice to see others making fun and useful things like buttons.

@rebeccahawrot8345 11 месяцев назад

All I can say is I love knowing you and I'm so incredibly glad I stumbled onto your channel! Very inspiring! Thank you for sharing your talent with us!!!!!

@janeploof132 11 месяцев назад

First just gotta say I love the out takes at the beginning☺️. The buttons look amazing and perfect for the sweater. Inspiring.

@peterivkovich2314 11 месяцев назад

from Gerry- You are so clever. These are gorgeous and you now have a very unique sweater. Thanks for sharing. Blessings.

@FiberLoveDiary 11 месяцев назад

@avalontampsett5023 11 месяцев назад

I must have ago, we have load of polymer clays. Thank you for sharing.

@LDSVenus 11 месяцев назад

That was pretty cool,love the buttons, looking forward to seeing them sewn on, and we have cooler weather so you are getting them done just in time!!

@pathowes32 11 месяцев назад

Very nice buttons

@Which-Craft 11 месяцев назад

OMG yes! I don't remember how much I paid for 4 wood circles with holes drilled in them, but at least once I figured out how make a proper buttonhole on the sewing machine, my linen jacket looks 1mil% classier. But I've no qualms about making some polymer cuteness for future endeavors for sure!

@katrinaeisch7444 11 месяцев назад

Such a cool idea, I can never find the perfect button/buttons for projects so I may have to try this!

@katlynkoester 11 месяцев назад

I once made "jade" bowls using Premo clay. I had a book or something with recipes for making it look like different gemstones.

@shadowcat5889 11 месяцев назад

these buttons look so cool!

@bonnielundholm5535 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the tutorial. They are so pretty.

@SBVancouver 11 месяцев назад

Gorgeous results. Thanks for the tutorial

@nancyskinner5207 11 месяцев назад

Could you put the holes in before you bake them? This is so exciting! 14:19

@melaniereising5661 11 месяцев назад

All I need to do next is knit a sweater!

@Which-Craft 11 месяцев назад

Are you sure we're not secret twins (triplets, quad, ohhhh, tribe)? We have to make all the things all the time. Someday I'll catch up to your talents.

@feelfreetobeyou4945 11 месяцев назад

Great buttons and great enthusiasm. Thanks

@Crocamian 11 месяцев назад

Soooo many possibilities! Thank you for the inspiration ❤

@jewellrude1908 11 месяцев назад

So pretty

@pamelamatt1441 11 месяцев назад

Oh I love this process. Thank you thank you thank you :)

@tracybird4547 11 месяцев назад

That was fun! Besides the expense, I find that selection is really limited, especially if you’re looking for an unusual size. This is genius!♥️

@rockinrobin1975 11 месяцев назад

Ooooh cool! I want to make some! They match your sweater so well too!

@beckyshook3526 11 месяцев назад

That is such a great idea

@lisabelfield1691 11 месяцев назад

Stunning 🤩

@nicolewillis5998 11 месяцев назад

Great tutorial. Your so clever!

@trudyw7831 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much those buttons are so pretty and sparkly. Love them I will make the rounds here and look for product to make my own.

@zoedoodle9824 11 месяцев назад

This is so great. Not only did it give an process for making one of a kind buttons for my projects but as you were talking I was wondering if I could use the process to make my own diz. I've been looking online for one that is cool and also has a 2mm hole. Haven't found any with that small of a hole. And then, just after I started thinking about it, you said that you've done a video on making a diz. Trish, you are AWESOME!

@categ50 11 месяцев назад

This looks like an easy way to make nice buttons. I have some tools for doing silver clay that would work well. I also make glass beads, and have a tool to make glass buttons.

@Yarn_addict 11 месяцев назад

What a fantastic idea, and they are so beautiful, I want to try it with some old embossing glitter and see what happens 😁

@13heylady 11 месяцев назад

Beautiful!❤

@teripersing 11 месяцев назад

Love this! In the early aughties I spent a couple of years working with polymer clay, so this was kind of a Time Machine for me.

@Ahlathein 11 месяцев назад

Wow, this is awesome

@carrietreder8474 11 месяцев назад

🎉 a bonus video! Very cool buttons, they look like sparkly stone. Also, I’m very glad you’re “extra”, I love it!

@katherinesmith6820 11 месяцев назад

This is a cool idea! I really want to try it out now.

@Which-Craft 11 месяцев назад

OTOH, I know me, and if I make buttons, I'm going to get crazy and make tiny sculptures out of them.

@jenm4721 11 месяцев назад

That was so awesome I can't wait to try it

@Nicole-pg3mr 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the info!

@candygrubisic 11 месяцев назад

Nice job and I did end up making some while I watched you making yours lol. I'll throw a pic in the group later. I thought about not having any tiny ones for the doll clothes so I made some small ones and a couple bigger ones. I just have white and turquoise. So glad I had duplicates of my cutters to use. Never thought to use them with my clay. I think if others want to look them up they're for fondant. I've used them to make shaped pasta for the kids before lol. Oh girl....THOUGHT!!!!....I saw some silicone flower molds...how cute would those be to press clay into for buttons!?!?

@QuzieSuzieQ 11 месяцев назад

Love the buttons! I wish I was better with polymer clay. I may need to try this out! I have silicone molds for buttons that can be used to make buttons with epoxy.

@debmoffett-hall5380 11 месяцев назад

@erikagreenwell9892 11 месяцев назад

that is so cool!!! i want to try this

@elizabethernest 11 месяцев назад

@seekingtoremain 11 месяцев назад

So cool! What kinds of projects would you do with your kids?

@sharonwaddell2548 11 месяцев назад

The buttons look great, they resemble agates or semi precious stones. Will they stand up to washing?

@kristalburns3490 11 месяцев назад

Buttons have also gotten very boring too. Oh that sweater is so pretty.

@FiberLoveDiary 11 месяцев назад

Unless you're ready to spend as much as you did for the yarn. I'm not 🤣🤣

@Which-Craft 11 месяцев назад

Wait, it only took you an hour to embroider Jessica's skirt? That would have taken me a month. But I'm not an experienced embroiderer (that's a word now, already added it to my dictionary). Those are gorgeous buttons, shiny, yay! On the cutters, I used everything from wire covers to pen lids to cut holes for my dizzes - any of that would work for anything you want to cut round, but you were about to say that, weren't you.

@FiberLoveDiary 11 месяцев назад

I machine embroidered it 🤣

@Which-Craft 11 месяцев назад

@@FiberLoveDiary Haha! Fair enough! 😂

@katelynrader4592 11 месяцев назад

These are so stinking cute! I've been trying to decide what buttons I want for a cardigan I'm currently working on, it's green with colored tweed in it, maybe I should see if pink gold leaf exists and make some of these for that one! Do you think I could take a sewing needle and make the holes prior to baking? Not sure if that would work or not.

@mariestock8070 11 месяцев назад

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this video! I was wondering if it is possible to add the holes before baking them?

@teripersing 11 месяцев назад

I made myself a tool for exactly that. Take a tapestry needle (doesn’t need to be sharp) and make a small handle over the eye of the needle with polymer clay. Then use your new tool for poking holes before curing!

@scriptgoddess 11 месяцев назад

#NewQuestUnlocked. Okay, now I want all the button making things!! This is sooo cool!! If you didn't have the drill ability could you poke holes in the buttons before you bake the buttons??

@FiberLoveDiary 11 месяцев назад

You can! I did that in the diz video

@kimlyne9700 11 месяцев назад

Is there a reason you drill the holes in instead of putting them in before the button is baked like with the diz?

@FiberLoveDiary 11 месяцев назад

When I add the holes while the clay is still mooshy, it sometimes creates ridges on the face of the button that I don't really like but it's still a good way to do it

My church sewing group is makes dresses for Dress a Girl Around the World. We need embellishments and this would be perfect! These dresses are sometimes the only nice dress these girls will ever receive and when they look cared-for they are less a target for abduction by sex traffickers.
