After dyeing I laid out all the buttons so they could dry...I think John got a bit tired of hearing me say 'mind my buttons!' every time he went within 1 foot of them!! (and seeing as though they are all over the living room floor he couldn't really get away from them!!)
I first dyed some buttons about a month or so ago, do you remember the post about teeny tiny buttons?
well, they came out so well (even if I do say so myself) that I did more research and have bought lots of different shapes (as well as more teeny-tinys)
I mixed all the shapes together to dye them and it's a weeny bit time consuming separating them, but when they are done I shall show you them in all their glory!

I had no idea you could dye buttons. I'm always looking for certain colors that I can't find so now I'll try dying them myself.
Wow - these are so lovely, and so many of them... it's like a sweet shop for buttons lovers...
