Today I want to share a quick and easy button DIY. Actually, this DIY comes from my crafty friend Laura - she made this little arrangement for me as a pretty "just because" gift.  It's the perfect alternative to flowers - because they are bright, fun, easy to make and they never die. (high-five immortality.)

I wanted to take some pictures of the DIY process - but then I realised that I can't find my camera SD card. (Currently I'm dealing with "room-of-doom" and i hope i have not accidentally thrown out the SD card in a pile of sneakily disguised papers. Ahem, at times i can be quite possession-retarded.) Anyway, no snaps of the DIY process - but since it's such a quick and easy one - I thought a little cartoon would suffice:

What you need:

• variety of buttons
• florist wire or thin wire
• glass bottle
• ribbon (optional)

just like this:

et voila!

Thanks Lolo for the lovely button flower tutorial. (Laura is my crafting muse so if anyone follows my boards on pinterest - they may as well just follow Laura because I basically just pin everything she does. lol.)

Also, in honour of international glass week, I am currently running a giveaway for a R500 voucher from Consol glass - that you can use to buy glass jars, candlestick holders, glass decor, glass bottles (like the one in this DIY) and other glass goodies.
