Cynthia You've given me a great idea, to make my own buttons for at least one of the cardigan sweaters I have in mind to make this year. We have a couple of trees on our property, and a couple of branches have to be trimmed, and I'm thinking they are round or nearly all round, and I could trim the branches, then cut them equal thickness, then use our Dremel to drill 2-4 holes in them to make unique buttons. There should be no sap in the dead branches, so they should already be cured. You could do the same with dowel rods purchased from the store, as those are already completely dried, and they carry hard woods like oak, birch, and ash, depending on which hardware store you go to.

Have fun shopping! I've just got done organizing my crafts materials, and
came across some Beatrix Potter buttons. No idea where I got them, or what I'll put them on, but it'll be awesome whenever it happens! Georgia "Cyndlu" wrote in message oups.com... Thank you Georgia.

That's always neat to come across something you didn't realize you had.
