MORE Added - Antique Button Bookmarks

[Noahsmom]

I discovered at the last moment my son's last choir was today and I had nothing to give his directors! So I scrambled around and made a couple bookmarks - really really fast! I didn't have any glass beads, so I used some vintage buttons from my little collection. I don't know if they will like them but I sure wanted to keep one for myself!

Very pretty! I bet I have some buttons that would work! I still have some that my mother had and she lived from 1907-1983.

 

Great job!

Thank you! I'm sure you have some beautiful ones and what a nice useful way to make a keepsake to have of your mother's things. Please let me see them if you make some. I love antiques, I always think about their history and the people who used them.
