| In the July 07Bead Style magazine shows jewelry made with buttons. It's called a button blossom has anyone made one of these or makes jewelry using buttons? Where can I find nice seed beads? Where can I find display items at a good price? Also having problems with the migical crimper, can't get it to make the balls.
Thanks for any help you can provide. |

| I haven't make the piece your speaking of but would love to see it. I have made jewelry and such out of buttons for quite a while. You can find nice seed beads in several online places... www.shipwreckbeads.com and the advertisers in the magazines are also wonderful leads on good product as well. A good price on display items for me come from NileCorp. I'm not sure what a magical crimper is but using a crimper properly does take some practice to make perfect.You can check on the "How To's" on any of the websites I listed above for help. Hope this helps a bit...

| Kidd, I don't make the jewelry but do use seed beads in some of my crafts. I've seen a nice selection of seed beads right at Walmart. They have the black ones (of course) but they also have all different colors and the irresdescent ones which I think are super pretty. They also have them at Michael's and Joann's, Hobby Lobby, etc. I too would love to see your creations when you've made them. I think the handmade jewelry is awesome, they carry all the goodies for it at Michael's too. Sal |
