I'm BACK and I'm positively giddy with excitement and a (probably undeserved) sense of accomplishment! I finally got around to getting a tutorial put together for knotting a micro macrame bracelet using a button as a centerpiece.
I'm not sure what it is about a button, but something about them makes me happy. Maybe it's the fact that they're so limited in size and unlimited in subject matter and execution? Any way you slice it, I find myself drawn to them and have amassed my own little treasure trove. There are all kinds of buttons there from Czech glass to handmade ceramics and everything in between.
This copper dragon button is probably my favorite button overall but it's been discontinued (anyone have any sway with a button manufacturer? We need these back!) Oh, but I've wandered off topic,, haven't I?
Anyway, if you're like me and have a little collection of special buttons (if not, looks like you have an excuse to shop for one!), this project is the perfect way to showcase one.
As usual, I've included way more photos than you probably need, but that's just the way I roll. There are over 70 pictures included in 20 pages of instruction. I've written this tutorial for folks who know how to make a couple basic micro macrame knots, but if you aren't there yet, don't worry! My blog has a tab just for macrame knot videos!
Okay, that's it. That's all I've got for today - I'm headed for the couch to put my feet up. Go over to my Etsy shop and get your tut!
