ADDING LACE TO A CARDIGAN AND A NEW BUTTON BRACELET

Adding Lace To A Cardigan

And

A New Button Bracelet

I love beautiful feminine things and this week I added some lace to a cardigan and I made a pretty button bracelet. 

Adding Lace To A Cardigan!

I found this really soft and feminine cardigan for only  a few dollars.  Although I really liked it, I thought it could be even better.  So with that in mind I decided to add some lace to it.  This is a super easy project but the end product is just lovely.  I picked out a pretty lace that was already ruffled and I simply stitched in onto the sweater following the edges around the buttons and collar.  I love how it turned out and it is a easy and fun project that almost anyone can do.  

    Teal Blue Beverly Button Bracelet

A few months ago Doni at Faith Grace and Crafts sent me a package filled with beautiful things.  Inside the box I found some beautiful buttons and I was inspired to make a button bracelet with them.  The bracelet turned out beautiful and I always get so many compliments on it when i wear it.   

You can see my Doni Button Bracelet here.  

I wanted to try making another button bracelet so I looked for buttons that I found beautiful and I happened upon these teal blue flower buttons and I then started looking for buttons to mix with them.  I ended up with some beautiful buttons.

Here are some vintage glass buttons.  Notice the blue ones have birds on them, so sweet....

Here is everything I had to choose from for my new bracelet. 

So I went to work making my bracelet.  I used stretchy string, the buttons and some ribbon.  I arranged the buttons on the string until I had them the way I liked them and simply tied it off and added a ribbon.  I love sheer ribbons with jewelry.  

I love how it turned out and I can't wait to wear it...

Once I finished these projects I moved on to decorating for Christmas  I will share what I have been doing in my next post.  Also, coming up I am going to be making a lace Bible cover/tote.  This will be a gift for my mom.  Don't worry she doesn't see my blog, she does not like the interwebs very much.  So be sure to come back and visit.

I am looking for some sparkly crown ornaments for my Christmas tree.  If you have seen them anywhere or have any suggestions please leave me a comment.
