10 Super Cute DIY Button Craft Tutorials

Isn’t spring the perfect time to get crafty? I love going around to yard sales and fleamarkets and buying all of the little crafty pieces I can so that I can try my hand at making something cute later. Granted, it’s not always cute, but hey, it’s fun. It may not be spring yet… but it’s been getting warmer here and it will be here before we know it! And don’t worry, these crafts I am sharing today are not some of my rejects, haha. These crafts are full of crazy cuteness. Here are the coolest DIY button crafts that we could find from around the web to hopefully spark your inner artist.

My grandmother used to keep a box of leftover buttons that we kids would play with and use on our Barbie clothes. We also used the buttons in an old game that I loved. I think it was called Hi-Q or something like that, but I haven’t seen one in years. Anyway, we would replace the missing pieces with buttons so that we could keep playing. Eventually that game was covered with more buttons than game pieces. Lol.

I sure wouldn’t mind having that box of buttons now to make some of these cool crafts. 🙂

    My mom has a HUGE jar filled with buttons. I could totally put some of them to good use making a couple of these things!

    I would love to make the button tree on canvas. It’s so vibrant and pretty. I also like the card. I need to look through my sewing kit and get to work making some button art.

    I have a friend that would absolutely love this! She likes taking the “normal “and making it unusual. This is a great idea for her. I will be telling her about this post.

    These are cute ideas, especially the hair barrette. I really like that & it looks pretty simple to do.

  8. Pam says

    I have a ton of buttons that I will never use because I don’t sew. These crafts would be perfect. I really like the button barrette.

    What amazing things you can do with buttons! I love the creativity. The tree pictures is great! I’m thinking something like this would be great for the girls playroom. Thanks for the ideas!
