Great project! I was intrigued by your comment on my Button post about your grandmother's button collection, and I came by to have a peek to see if I could find photos. This tutorial is tops!! And thanks for visiting my blog--it's great to have new visitors, especially such awesome ones!

Thanks for sharing your tips, Lenetta, and your photos. Your brooches
turned out lovely - and I love your idea of turning them into magnets!

I ended up making these, though my hubs brought me copper wire instead, and there definitely is a learning curve with the twisting! I had much better luck holding the button and twisting, rather than trying to twist the wire strands. And I had a few buttons break! DOH! I'm not sure I'm crazy about them as pins, so I'm thinking I'll offer to turn them into magnets if my SILs prefer. :>) You can see how mine turned out at my Handmade Christmas post (link is under my name) - thanks!!

Not too soon to think of the holidays, I don't think! Especially when we'll have busy hands between now and then to get things done. I'll be making these for my sisters-in-law! I linked to this on my weekly roundup (post is under my name) with admonitions for them to not click through. Wonder if they'll heed? :>) Thanks!!

These are great! I have tons of buttons. Even the plain 4 hole buttons look great in these broaches!

Beautiful! Love these! You have taken the "gem tree" technique to a whole new dimension! I agree with Rachel - perfect for using treasures found in family heirloom button stashes.

And... I can see a whole advent calendar made out of these!
