Wood buttons
It pays to have a hubby who's a woodworker
When you've got a hankering to make wood buttons, a saw, sander and drill press are sure to be close at hand.
The darker ones are from the cherry tree (source of the blocks). The lighter ones are from a branch of unknown heritage that I found in the yard. Maybe the katalpa? I have a few more sticks saved up in the shop. I want to make Biscuit a(nother) coat. This time with wood buttons.
Hope your weekend was spectacular.
Those look so cool, and especially put on cards like that. That's the kind of thing that if I knew someone who sewed, I'd get them as a fun Christmas stocking stuffer.

Hi there. I found this page very helpful for my research. I just wanna ask, if you may allow me, I wanna know what tools we are going to use in making holes for our coconut buttons. Also we wanna know how we could cut small bits from coconut shells. Where could we buy the tools and are there any names for these tools? Please, i really need your help. Thank you very much
