covered button magnets from Craft Leftovers
You may have heard of “Pimp your Ride” but “Pimp your Needlepoint????” No thank you.
But the idea of taking something utilitarian and everyday and fixing it up into something that’s unique and yours. I can stand behind that. With this post I’m starting an occasional series of projects designed to do just that, create little, lovely things that will give you another bit of beauty in your life. They may be original projects or they may be ones I find around the web, but all will be both beautiful AND useful.
The first entry is from my friend Kristen of Craft Leftovers. All April she showcased projects using items in her stash. This one is for covered buttons using scraps of fabric, made into magnets.
If you are handy, you could also do tiny bits of embroidery on fabric (not canvas, it’s too stiff).
To turn them into stitcher’s magnets, just add another magnet for the back side of the canvas. The metal cover of the button will get magnetized and help hold your needle.
