Fabric Button : DIY

I was always fascinated towards fabric buttons. A few days back only, my aunt told me an easy way to make them at home without any market supplies. That was the moment and I made many at home for my daughter’s frocks and other accessories.

 

“Fabric button” is a fun and the most simple fabric project and the only things required are: a needle, thread, a fabric and a button (recycle old clothes buttons).

Cut a square fabric of your choice, place your button in the middle and mark a circle at 1and1/2 inches from the button and finally cut it into a circle shape.

Now make a thread circle with needle as shown in the figure.

Finally pull the threads from the both ends and cut the extra thread.

Fabric button is ready to be incorporated in your other designed products…………agoodstuff : )

Mobile cover DIY

Make a simple and cozy cover for your mobile with your old clothes or sweaters. As we have already made a few usable things out of old woolens and recycled them very smartly, so, either you can cut out a piece of old woolen or you can use the left out pieces of the lower or sweater used in the previous DIY project for socks (make woolen socks at home from old sweaters). All the recycling projects (the woolen recyclying) are quite interesting, effective , easy and a real fun to do.
Just follow the steps shown below in pics and your mobile cover is ready without any hastle.

1.    Cut a piece of the sweater’s sleeve. Turn it inside out.

 

2.    Mark the size of the mobile and leave margins at top and a little bit

at sides( this margin will go under sewing)

 

3.    Now sew at the marked line and cut out extra portions.

4.    Now turn the piece inside out again and the cover is ready.

Old sweaters recycling

Don’t giveaway your old sweaters to anyone as this winter you can create

 magic out of them. Lets recycle those woolens and use them in making new

 things or making the old ones usable.

Kids outsize the last year sweaters very easily and we are left with no

choice but to give away them to somebody else. Cut down your old useless

sweater's border  and sew them below the borders of your favourite sweater to 

increase the length. Have a look at the pictures and you can figure out the easiness 

and practicality in the same.

         

You can always decorate them with a matching patch or making small

embroidery of similar colors.

It’s a beautiful craft and a beautiful way to retain your favorite woolens

for another year……recycle old things………: ) agoodstuff
