When you said, "You know me... we'll make this more special." Yes, indeed dear Luise, you make ***everything*** more special 👏🤗. You warm my heart and inspire my spirit well beyond your beautiful art 🦋💐🦋. So much encouragement, excitement and companionship feeling. These buttons are fantastic and so many imaginative variations. Love them all but I think I like the "short, dingely, dangely thingy" with the cute little owl the best.🦉 More happiness in store as I am off to watch the German video. Thank you so much and stay safe, happy and healthy!!!!
Antique Mod Podge?? Oh nnooo!! Sounds dangerous! Love your buttons! "...should we add something else"? Luise, of course!! We should ALWAYS add something else!! Hugs sweetie, MK 🤗❤️🌵❤️🤗
It tickles me to hear and see the paint splat intro you have in the beginning of your videos Luise!!!! Can't explain it. Anyone else feel the happiness that's about to unfold in the next few minutes. Love it😊
I bet I have a total of maybe a dozen buttons. That’s it. I could make some buttons I guess. Love the napkin idea. Playing around making “things” is a lot of fun.
Very lovely. I always watch your German videos as well. I had German in school many moons ago and my aunt was married to a German gentleman. I am not that confident in speaking it anymore, but I still read German and love watching you in German.
These buttons turned out GREAT!!!! Yes, I will definitely be looking at the German video to see what you do with the other buttons. You are so creative!!!!!!
Wonderful ideas. I have my grandmother's and my in-laws button collection. What a way to remember them. The napkin is so neat. I can use some with my ancestry journal that We're doing. Thanks so much for showing us how to make some. 👍🤗🤗
Hi Louise, thank you so much for another brilliant tutorial, I love your buttons and would never have thought of doing that technique. That is what sets you apart from others on here - you always think 'outside the box' as the saying goes. You are a true inspiration with all your projects and tutorials. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Take care and bye for now as we say here in the UK! xx
Realy again a gorgeous idea, you are always so genius to create “ new” thingies with old items. Love the symbolic use off that flower on your grand parents buttons. Have a nice weekend!, Greetings Maia
I have not been able to watch you for a few months. Your English is so much better! I just inherited my Mother's button collection and I'm going to my craft room now to start on this project you inspired. This is my kind of art!
Wow, how pretty these are. I love watching your channel. You are a good designer. I've never seen Mod Podge on butons, but I love this idea. I just finished watching the German video. All ofvthe buttons were exquisite. I loved all of then. Espically the two cluster ones.
My heart is percolating with excitement! I love buttons and just last week I made a bunch of your paper buttons from book pages. They turned out so well. Now a way to beautify the plainer buttons from stash using some of my napkin collection. Thank you darling Liuse.
Oh my. I absolutely 💯 love those. Keep doing a great job. I enjoy watching you create and how you link art and junk journaling. Love from the Caribbean 🤩
Luise, I love the idea of putting napkins on the buttons. I know a lot of times, you are searching for a color/type of button, and cannot find it. By decoupaging them with the napkins, you can have them match what you needed them for.
I never would have thought of doing that with the bottons. They look very nice, excellent. I did see you use buttons on a few tags or pages in other videos. So jealous hit me, i bought a few buttons and beads. A couple fish , like Nemo fish, and pretty ball peachy sequins. One day, i will use them. Right now they are all safety pinned to journal fabric inside cover. Lol so much fun.lol take care be safe.
LOUISE, i love the four journal jewels. My favorite art craft is decoupage, so should be no surprise that my favorite thing in this is your decoupaging tidbits of napkins onto buttons, transforming boring grey to tiny works of beautiful art treasure.
O Louise, they are so special. As for the buttons wow! I have buttons that are plain and a few napkins that might work so yes I will try and transform my plain buttons. Love your inspirations.
I also have a large collection of buttons from my grandmothers. I have many buttons like yours that are a bit ugly. What a great tutorial to change them into a small work of art. I have a lot of buttons with a shank and think they would be great used in this way.
I love this, what a great way to honor my grandmothers buttons. I have been using them in journals here and there, but this is a great way to jazz up some of the plain ones. Thanks Luise. ❤️
To paint things like the buttons, put a piece of painter's tape or masking tape down, fold the ends under so the sticky side is up. Put the objects to be painted on the tape, paint. When dry, just peel them off. Love the idea of using napkins on the buttons!
Absolutely BEE-utiful!! Genius alterations on boring buttons to extraordinary pieces.Blessings, positive vibes and peace for all who need it in these scary times! Namesta ✌️🐞🕉️
Great idea. Have been sorting my buttons this week and have many large plain ones which I wanted to decorate. You have given me an abundance of ideas with this tutorial and shall watch the German version to get the full scale of your marvellous creations, thank you so much Luise for lots more inspiration. Stay safe and well, luv n hugs dear girl from your friend Victoria in England 👍😘💐
What a great idea! I can’t wait to give this a try. I just need more napkins. So time to collect some pretty napkins and get busy. Thanks for sharing Louise. Beautiful as always. ❤️
Just found your videos tonight and I am now a subscriber... love these napkin buttons and find your teaching very easy to understand and fun. Loved the previous video I accidentally found you did with your hubby..encouraged me as a newbie to this junk journal world. Thank you.
I love, love, love your napkin buttons!! Such a fabulous idea! You are so inspiring and cause such excitement - my heart is laughing! Can't wait to try this - thanks so much for all the love you give to us, your faithful subbie, Diane from Tampa, Florida ;)
What fun, I must give this a try. I have collected a stash of buttons, I wish you lived closer to share. Thank you for showing us the mod lodge idea of covering plain buttons. I must give this a try. Hugs.
So fun! I wish I still had my button collection! 😢I just watched your questions answered video. The one about your tattoos and music etc. I also watched the music video after. The music was beautiful as well as your art creation! Well done! ❤️😍👏🏻
What a wonderful idea! Now I know what to do with all the ugly buttons I inherited! At first I thought you had some amazing buttons and mine were all unattractive…especially like the effect the blue and white napkin gives.
so much fun and so much creativity in a place I think we all forget to look. thank you for giving all of my beads and buttons a whole new life just by reminding me that they don't have to stay what they are! xoxo
The buttons are beautiful. Try using I pins used in jewelry making to attack the red bead. They come with stop or hoop on the bottom and you put the bead on it. Shorten if needed and make a hoop on the end and then all you have to do is attach it to the chain.
Luise! I love this video and what you have created. I love to play with buttons, broken jewelry bits , beads and fibers but never have I thought to decopage buttons. I will be trying this out.....I love to create dangles/charm pieces. Thanks for the continuing inspiration! Until later, Judy
I love it. This has been such a satisfying video to watch. Beauty and the grunge. I'm making some of these today. Thank you💙💙ETA: I have been binge making these. I can't stop. At 32 buttons ready to embellish I had to finally drag myself off to bed. I will share pictures with you on instagram.
When you said, "You know me... we'll make this more special." Yes, indeed dear Luise, you make ***everything*** more special 👏🤗.

I agree !

Your “napkin buttons” are just awesome. What a wonderful idea. Now to find the perfect buttons. 👍🥰❤️
It tickles me to hear and see the paint splat intro you have in the beginning of your videos Luise!!!! Can't explain it. Anyone else feel the happiness that's about to unfold in the next few minutes. Love it😊
Das Video ist mir tatsächlich entgangen 😳
So eine tolle Idee 💡
Gefällt mir echt super gut 👍 Vielen lieben Dank fürs zeigen LG und Drückerle Dany 🥰❤️👍
I have millions of buttons and love this idea for the really simple ones. Thanks!
I bet I have a total of maybe a dozen buttons. That’s it. I could make some buttons I guess. Love the napkin idea. Playing around making “things” is a lot of fun.
Love these button dingly dangle thingies❣️we could call them Heinzls. Yes, I like that 🥰
Very lovely. I always watch your German videos as well. I had German in school many moons ago and my aunt was married to a German gentleman. I am not that confident in speaking it anymore, but I still read German and love watching you in German.

The napkin buttons are great! But attaching the jewelry ideas to the buttons are what intrigued me

I missed this video when it came out and it is another great one of yours. Thank you
Absolutely love the napkin buttons. I think I could squeeze some buttons and beads on my art table and make some of these. They are just so awesome!
Hallo liebe Luise ich finde deine Idee richtig cool. Ich bin ganz begeistert davon. Liebe Grüße Christina 🤓
My heart is percolating with excitement! I love buttons and just last week I made a bunch of your paper buttons from book pages. They turned out so well. Now a way to beautify the plainer buttons from stash using some of my napkin collection. Thank you darling Liuse.

The pulb pins add a nice touch!💝🎉
They are absolutely gorgeous and sooo cute 🤩🤩🤩
I love this, more videos similar to this. Very creative and beautiful. Inspiring. 👏👏👏

These buttons ate beautiful. I am going to try this. It will make my journals more beautiful.

They look very pretty!! Enjoyed learning the way to cover ugly buttons!

Love the idea of using napkins on the buttons!
That's genius! Thank you!
Uh oh. I gave away all my large (ugly) buttons because I had no use for them. I could have made these. Very interesting art work, Luise. TYFS.
I just love the entire process of your napkin buttons! They are beautiful, thank you for sharing!!
Beautiful outcome of decoupage buttons!🥰💕💕
Absolutely BEE-utiful!! Genius alterations on boring buttons to extraordinary pieces.Blessings, positive vibes and peace for all who need it in these scary times! Namesta ✌️🐞🕉️
Can't wait to try these buttons. Wonderful idea. I use fishing swivels instead of bulb pins on some of my dangles.
Love these button dangles. I have buttons from my mother as well. I think I am going to try this. Thanks
Luise, your mind is a wonderland! So full of Amazing ideas!
Can't wait to make some of these! I make jewelry, therefore I have more supplies than I'll ever need.😊 Thanks so much Luise for the idea.❤

This would work with the paper buttons for the journal cards inside or to attach to pockets as well! Flat charms would work too.❤️
