This is a brooch I made recently for my 'mother in law' out of vintage buttons. I made a few mistakes on the way, but it was still a lovely brooch and Eileen loved it. Can't wait to make the next one. It's a bit rough around the edges - the next one will be better.

Again, I love these and would never have thought of using antique buttons that way - where's my grandmother's button tin gone!!
