I could watch a three hour video of yours easily! ☺️

[@Saacibo]

Oh, thank you so much ❤️

[@barbarawafer94]

Good morning, Gayle. I love the washi tape and the woven paper. Of course it’s always good to be reminded about using strips for the backs of collages. Thank you for another fun video. 💜

[@user-te7zz8mv3x]

you are amazingly creative… many thanks for sharing. i have been hoarding spare buttons for decades and now i have a use for them finally 🤣

[@Saacibo]

You are very welcome! Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 😊❤️

[@lucyl.4356]

I just found your channel and I love your button transformations. I’ve been collecting buttons for many years and I now have to make them pretty for projects. Thank you.

[@Saacibo]

Hello Lucy and welcome to the channel! Glad you liked the buttons! Oh, I have a bit of a "thing" for buttons, too. Collected so many, and I love decorating them. Thank you so much for subscribing and for your kind comment. I appreciate it greatly ❤️😊

[@SteffiCullen]

Fantastic 💙 this is something I have definitely try to do... Love them 😍

[@Saacibo]

Thanks so much Steffi! I’m glad you’re inspired to make some😊

[@annebrown6826]

Hi Dragana...the slideshow at the end really shows how pretty the buttons are. I have been collecting buttons for years, and now have soooooo many! I'll definitely be making some of these too. One could also use scraps from a project to cover buttons so that they coordinate with the project. I have some wooden buttons that could be decoupaged on too. Thanks for another inspiring video. Was going to watch Ep 7 in your series, but I just brought yet ANOTHER empty food box into my craft room so I'm going to watch your video on covering a cereal box. Lol Take care. 😺

[@Saacibo]

Oh, it seems we have this in common! Buttons! I've been collecting them, too. I have no idea what to do with so many. Was thinking of maybe doing like a painting with buttons one day. 😊❤️

[@annebrown6826]

@@Saacibo You are very artistic, so I could see you doing a "painting" with them one day. I watched a craft room tour a while back, and the lady said she had buttons here, there, and everywhere in little boxes, tins, bags, etc. When she reorganized, she decided to just dump them ALL into one VERY LARGE vase. They looked pretty, but if she ever wanted 2 or 3 the same, it would be quite a chore to go through them all. I keep all mine sorted into sets, in little plastic zip bags from the dollar store. Then I store them in drawers by colour. If I want a certain colour, I just take the drawer out. Works pretty good. Hmmmm...I think it's time I used some of them! Lol Enjoy your buttons!........😸❤

[@Piaromsart]

OMG you are genious! How I love all these! And what a treat to see them so near in the end on all your beautiful cases! You inspire me so much! xox

[@Saacibo]

Thanks so much! It makes me happy to know you enjoyed the video and got inspired 😊

[@Imma_rose2]

I’m made 6 different ones your instructions were spot on!! Thank you

[@Saacibo]

@@Imma_rose2 I’m really glad 😀

[@wandasinclair3748]

I was looking 4 lg buttons and I found your list. My goodness the list is so big and your work is the greatest. I won’t have to look u have everything. I wish I could buy some of your crafts. I have no internet but I’ll keep trying.

[@Saacibo]

Thank you so much Wanda! I'm glad you like my videos and projects. I sell my makes on Etsy but it's hard without internet. ❤️❤️❤️

[@danijelaljutak-jurekovic6303]

Preslatko! TFS ❤

[@Saacibo]

Hvala Danijela ❤️❤️❤️

[@Imma_rose2]

Do you have a vendor for finger wax who sell to the US?

[@Saacibo]

No, I’m sorry, I bought mine from local shops.

[@lucyl.4356]

I am not sure that it would be the exact thing. But on Amazon there is a product called Rub an buff and it comes in several colors gold and silver metallic bronze. It’s also called gilding wax. Perhaps it might be a good substitute here in U.S.

[@Imma_rose2]

Thank you for replying. Since the date of this question I have found a and bought a small jar of gilded wax.

[@nathalieheath5693]

I do love your projects, but I’d really appreciate a more close up view when you’re crafting. The wide angle makes it very hard for me to see what you’re actually doing

[@Saacibo]

Thank you so much for the feedback! You're absolutely right about this one. I've done it a while ago and I should definitely redo it with close ups and all. It was a learning curve for me in regards to video making.

@nathalie Simply zoom in to your own device's screen.🔎 💙

[@lorikendrick5076]

I wish your camera was closer to you working. I'd like to see it closer.

[@SixthSun]

@lori All you need is to zoom in to your own screen. 🔎💙
