Button Garland - Advent Garland

[@elizabethsawyer5906]

Thank you Jeri another great idea for the button garland and I love the hearts too💕

[@paulinedonnelly6077]

Hi Jeri, I love your garland, I have a ton of buttons & now have a lovely use for them TFS XXX love & hugs & Christmas greetings from as very warm OZ 🇦🇺😎😍😍

[@JeriBellini]

Thank you! Merry Christmas to you too, friend! 💛💛💛

[@JoCahill-z7z]

Love the idea of making garlands using buttons. I have loads of not very interesting buttons which I can make garlands for my back door. Thanks Jeri and best wishes for the New Year.🙏💕

[@tinmouse1083]

If you put glue on the end of your thread it behaves more like a needle. I use fray check or crazy glue. Crazy glue works great. You can even trim the end to a point after its dried

[@JeriBellini]

YES! Was not even thinking, that’s a great idea! I’m making more, I love it!

[@JanIllingsworth]

The button garland is very clever and looks great with those gorgeous little hearts.

[@JeriBellini]

Thanks so much, I love it too! 💛💛💛

[@JanIllingsworth]

@JeriBellini I am looking forward to more Yaya time with you. When I was in Cyprus, the old women were called yayas

[@cathywhitney8194]

Jeri, that is so ingenious how you connected the buttons and got them to lay so nicely. Thanks for sharing your process with us. ❤

[@JeriBellini]

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 💛💛💛

[@deborahmeyer-y4m]

NOW, I have to make button garlands, too! lol I love this. Thanks, Jeri. You are so clever. I love the hearts, too! Blessings.

[@JeriBellini]

I love buttons! 💛💛💛 I'm now making a button curtain for my doorway, I'm up to 5 strands!

[@newmoonjlp]

Really cute. I have a ton of oddball shank buttons that aren't likely to get used for slow stitch projects because they don't lie flat. It might be fun to work out a way to make garland with them. Possibly a lightweight wire would work better for that, with a single twist between buttons? Hmmm....

[@JeriBellini]

Experiment! And now you have me thinking too! 💛💛💛

[@annettewalker2382]

Well done, yet another brilliant idea to not only for decoration but also a good use of buttons. The time you give towards the researching of your projects ensures you produce such attractive items. l am now going to go through my buttons to make a garland. Seasons greetings, take care

[@JeriBellini]

Yay and Yay! Thank you so much! 💛💛💛

[@lalagamma4452]

Hreat projects! Quote “I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year” -Charles Dickens. Happy Holidays. Huge HUGS and Peace. Namesta 🐞❄️🐞

[@JeriBellini]

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you too, Namesta! 💛💛💛

[@nancybecker1173]

Great idea. Gonna try it! Green or silver or gold buttons would make great garlands for a holiday tree.

[@JeriBellini]

They sure would! I was thinking all one color of anything would be so fun! I have to talk to Brian about that, our buttons are still packaged in their original bags by color. He mixes them up. They are old from the 1980's. Great use of them! 💛💛💛

[@rozdragun3015]

You are so clever,Jeri. That flipping would have drove me crazy. I can't wait to do this with my nieces. Great winter afternoon project with grandma's button tin!!!

[@JeriBellini]

I know, the flipping part took a little while! But, it's totally worth it, and I think your nieces will have a blast! 😊💛

[@moonlightcrafter6299]

I made garland for my small Christmas yrees using shirt buttons a few years ago. I used a needle and I believe a very thin hemp cord. I ended up staggering the buttons where one overlapped the other on the back to make them pleasing to me. My goal is to eventually make enough garland for our large tree which unfortunately hasn't been up for a few years. I dont have near as many large buttons but my great-grandmother had a bead curtain in the doorway where her pocket doors were and I love the idea of recreating that with buttons.

[@JeriBellini]

I'm going to tell you, I now have 6 strands in the doorway and ADORE them! Have fun collecting buttons! 💛

[@fionahaigh708]

I like your technique in making the button garland !

[@JeriBellini]

Thank you! 😊 It seems to be holding up nicely and easy enough to do! 💛💛💛

[@jennywren2395]

Hi Jeri, I bet you could make a fabulous garland incorporating twisted fabric cord with your little muslin pieces in and some buttons and a heart here and there. Now that I would love to see. ❣

[@JeriBellini]

And you shall see as I develop my idea. Thanks so much for watching! I'm in the warehouse now, playing with buttons! 💛💛💛

[@annrubino6252]

Thank you Jeri. Wishing you a happy Christmas and looking forward to next year.

[@JeriBellini]

Merry Christmas to you, too! 💛💛💛

[@cyn4rest]

This was fun. The hearts sound like a wonderful project and very portable - well once the shapes are created. Lol. I’m so grateful to hv found your Chanel. You’ve brought joy and some new direction to my life. Thank you. Merry Christmas from our home to yours ❤️🎄🌹🎁🎄❤️

[@JeriBellini]

I'm so glad you're enjoying my channel! Merry Christmas to you, too!💛💛💛

[@pamfrank3962]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful tutorial ❤️

[@JeriBellini]

You're welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 😊💛

[@krazedvintagemodel]

I've made vintage button jewelry, and for that I stagger smaller buttons behind the top row to make a double strand for stability. I enjoy seeing someone else create with buttons! 🧵📿😊

[@JeriBellini]

Yes, I used to own a bead shop and we did a class once and made a necklace just that way. If I come across it I'll show it in one of my Ya-ya's. Happy Holidays! 💛

[@brendam.6897]

Very pretty! Thank you!

[@JeriBellini]

I'm so glad you liked it! 😊 💛

[@123uschie]

I have a lot of buttons so thank you so much for sharing this Jeri - seasons greetings ❤

[@JeriBellini]

You're welcome! Merry Christmas to you too! 💛💛💛

[@janekrut2799]

Your instructions for the button garland are so clear - great use for my grandmas buttons. I hope your holidays are joyous and stress free. Thanks - I enjoy all your videos.

[@JeriBellini]

I'm so glad you like it! Happy Holidays to you too! 😊💛💛💛

[@kayherstedt6618]

Hearts are my very favorite shape with a special meaning for me as well! I'll be interested to see what other shapes you come up with too. I'll be running a Valentine's Day hearts workshop for senior ladies and had already planned to use felt! We'll have buttons and beads,ribbons and trims, etc. to embellish them. I'll have to find your video on hearts. Thank you for sharing your creativity!

[@JeriBellini]

And here's a link to my heart video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/barMe4eko72IecU Sounds like a wonderful activity to share. Sending hugs to you and your gathering! 💛

[@kayherstedt6618]

Cute idea! I think you could also use "baker's twine" from the craft store. It comes in lots of colors so would add color to neutral buttons.

[@JeriBellini]

That's a GREAT Idea! I'm been poking around through my stash and trying every string I own! 💛

[@denisegardner2373]

Wow, love this. After the holidays I'm going to give this a try. TFS ❤😊

[@JeriBellini]

You'll have so much fun making one! 💛 I don't see why we can't leave them hanging all the time, they are cute as a button! ha! 💛💛💛

[@julieholleran974]

Just loving this button garland; what a great way to use old buttons!! i ordered some more from your shop to add to my collection --I will try to make one of these...what fun///thanks for sharing hugs, julierose🥰

[@JeriBellini]

Hi JulieRose, I saw your order and made Brian gather a nice collection for you! 💛💛💛 Thank you! And we came up with ANOTHER IDEA! Can't wait to show you!

[@julieholleran974]

thanks Jeri--can't wait to see them...;))))

[@coloradoblueskiesboutique7720]

Beautiful ❤. First thing that came to my mind was weaving around a set of miniature lights, if hanging for the holidays or adding to a wreath. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU AND THE FAMILY🎄🎄🎄🥰

[@JeriBellini]

I love that idea! 💛💛💛

[@jacquelineshewring503]

Thank you for sharing the button video. Wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy healthy new year. Looking forward to seeing your videos In The new year x

[@JeriBellini]

You are so welcome, I'm still sitting at night stringing buttons! Now I'm making a door covering! 💛💛💛

[@cnmjmm416]

[@robynreid3027]

Genius! I'll try it.

[@JeriBellini]

You're gonna love it! 💛💛💛

[@practicaldesigninc.5593]

Great tutorial. You mentioned a YA YA? I looked that up and got not much. I am curious how you define that? Is it just your thing or is that term cultural in some way? Pretty sure I am spelling it wrong... I am assuming I am missing something. Lol

[@JeriBellini]

Hi, you're new here... Welcome! a Ya-ya is me chatting away about all sorts of things. If you take a look through my videos I started labeling them as Ya-Ya. I could be talking about anything and I usually do a show and tell of something. Thanks for being here, I hope you hang around! 💛

[@quilter1958]

Jeri - I sent an email to you. Did you receive it? If not - check your spam folder.

[@JeriBellini]

Will do! 💛
