I've been trying to make use of some of the scraps of felt I have leftover from my many projects, as it seems such a shame to waste even the smallest bit of colourful felt!
Some are being cut into heart shapes:And others are being turned into cute felt buttons:I am so in love with the buttons, they are so sweet and cheerful and deliciously tactile. They are also quite addictive to make, but I will run out of felt scraps eventually...

oh my goodness, you must have had a lot of scraps! i love the hearts ~ they're adorable!
lovely buttons! so many great colours :D
All so gorgeous & colourful. I especially love the buttons- they look just like smarties!
I love the buttons! They'd be such fun to use. The hearts are great too (I love hearts!) What do you think you'll use them for?
ooooh I do hope that one day felt buttons will be added to your shop!
the felt hearts are just gorgeous and I love the felt buttons.
beautiful buttons. great idea to make the best use of scraps! dx.
Oh those buttons are adorable, I'd love to see a tutorial too, or do you sell them? I have an unstopable button addiction
These are so sweet!
so pretty!!
Ooh please tell us how to make the buttons!
Thanks for all the comments everyone! The buttons are made with self cover buttons (with shanks for sewing) that just snap together. I'm going to use some for my own sewing projects but I'll probably be listing some on my website too :)
I love that this post is a riot of colour! :)
LOVE the buttons!! I'd love to see something (a pillow, a cloche, a pair of curtain tie-backs, SOMETHING!) covered with those.
Hi, I love your blog! I tagged you on my blog for a Sisterhood Award. http://4crazykings.blogspot.com/
Cool buttons! :)
The hearts are cute but I LOVE the buttons!
hahah Lupin x i have been thinking of adding 'felt scrap bags' to the shop because i have so many! You are so thrifty and i admire you for it.
The buttons are so cute! They would make the perfect center to a flower!
oooh. A great idea for Easter colors! I'm going to start now!
thanks
As long as you keep crafting, you'll never run out. I agree with everyone else: they're awesome. I'm imagining a hand-knit cardigan (as if I could ever finish one) with these felted buttons and maybe some yarn embroidery.
is it bad that I want to EAT those buttons?
