The resin buttons would be great to make for/with my grandkids. I would definitely look for a mould for a set of round buttons. My mom knit lots of Cardi's for my sons and started out using clever shaped buttons. But they were hard to button and never stayed closed. Colorful round buttons looked great.
Your new hair color is fabulous!! !Great to complement your colorful wardrobe.
Thanks so much Mary Beth! I can see that fun shaped buttons would be difficult for knits. I haven't had any issues with wovens though. But round is good when all the interest is coming from the color and additives 💕
I love your buttons and you’re making me want to give that a try because I hate having to go out and buy buttons! LOL Thank you so much for sharing your process and for the links to everything. 💞
Seriously Izzy - it's SO easy! You will love it!
Look at that pretty red hair!!! The buttons look so beautiful! I want to try button making for sure now! Thanks for teaching us how to do it! The big buttons would be nice on a jacket. Fun video!!!❤
Girl you would SLAY button making! I'm so glad you like my hair - it is making me so happy 💕
Oh that looks like so much fun. I have a million ideas about what I want to put in buttons. I think clear with dried flower bits would be very cool. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I think that would be amazing! I ordered some dried flowers from Amazon but they were too big for buttons. I still think it's a fab idea - I'll have to keep looking for the right ones 😊
These are beautiful! You should sell them! You have the supplies and your taste is fabulous in color and style.
Thanks so much - that's kind of you! I think having to make enough to have "inventory" for selling would take the fun out of it for me - but I appreciate the vote of confidence!
Hi Michelle - Fun to watch this video. I always enjoy seeing what you are doing. I am not interested in making buttons but liked watching. I have done other crafts besides sewing. I have always cross stitched. A year ago however, I found Flosstube which has introduced me to a whole new world of cross stitch that I am enjoying. Take Care
Hi Janiece - so glad you enjoyed the video. I cross-stitched for so many years but haven't done it in years. I'll have to check out Flosstube!
The buttons are super cute - and yes - perfect for that fabric you showed them on!
Thank you! 😊
Lovely buttons. ❤️So tempted but I have several other craft options with supplies on my shelves. 😅 Yes, more button tutorials. I will live vicariously. ❤🧵🧵
I completely understand Dotschi! It's hard to fit in ALL the crafts LOL
Your buttons look fabulous. I look forward to seeing them on your finished garment.
Thank you so much!
these are awesome! I had to come check this out after watching Christine Sews a Lot channel and seeing her beautiful buttons 😃 I totally want to make buttons now! Thanks so much for sharing~
Oh I hope you do! I love making them so much - you can customize them to your liking!
Hello Hercules!! Michelle your persistence paid off, those buttons are so pretty! Nope, I don’t believe I will ever make buttons, but you do make it look easy! Congratulations on your results! 🎉👏🏽 BTW, LOVE your hair!
Thanks so much Myra!
I love the buttons!! Thank you for sharing!! I also like the color of your hair!
Thank you so much!
I would love to see more videos on making buttons. I may try some myself.
Go for it!
The buttons are beautiful!
thank you Glenda!~
Thank you, thank you for this video now I know how to make buttons. BTW your hair is gorgeous that color 😍.
You will have so much fun making buttons!! Thanks 💕
I have that exact t-shirt--It's one of my favorites! #SaveFerris!
I've done other things with resin. I need to try the buttons. Great way to have something totally unique and a perfect match for a project.
Ha! #saveferris - such a great movie!! I love that tee! If you're already used to making things with resin then buttons will be even easier for you! Have fun with it!
Making buttons looks like fun...I think I would try it!
Let me know if you do!!
Wow, those buttons ar every pretty
Thank you!
I love this. Please do more videos.
Yay! Have fun with it!!
The buttons came out beautiful!
Thanks Suzette!
Thanks for this video. Looks like fun! On a different note, I LOVE your hair and makeup!! Great color choice for your hair….
Thanks so much!!!
Love, love, love this, Michelle! So fun! 💜
Thanks so much 😊 💕
Love your buttons and the fabulous hair!!!
Thank you Dear Mari!! 💕
Thank you for sharing this process, so interesting! I’d be happy to see any future videos of buttons. And as always, I enjoy your content. Until next time! 😊
Thanks so much Renee!
The buttons look great. I have thought about polymer clay but this may be easier.
Oooh I love polymer clay! I was into it a few years ago before I was sewing and I was making jewelry. Maybe I need to play with that again. We could schedule a play date 😊
@@MichelleSewsAgain Oh that could be fun. Let me know when.
Your buttons look great! I’ve been wanting to try this! Thank you
You're welcome!! I hope you have fun with it 😊
OH MY FREAKING WHAT! You look stunning with the new hair colour wowzers! Look at little man too! 😘😘 now I’ll watch the rest of the vlog haha 😂
They are such cute buttons, I literally loved when you said and they look cute with this fabric too and then went “heh” and the little cheeky chuckle 😂 made my day, very easily pleased over here haha x
I'm so glad you like my hair!! I'm really happy with it!! Ha! I'm glad I could give you a chuckle Adam! 😜
Loving your hair BTW! Now I think I have to venture into button making-you've inspired me!
Thank you! And YES - make some buttons - it's so much fun!!
You made me want to try my and at button making, Also love the new hair color it is very flattering,
Have fun with the buttons! It's such a fun way to customize them! THanks 😊
I love your new hair color looks great.
Thank you so much 😀
@@MichelleSewsAgain you are welcome.
Great video! Wonderful information, thanks. Also, the red(hair color)suits you.
I'm glad you found the video helpful! And thanks for the compliment 😊
I would have loved to see how they come out of the mold. Lovely video! I would like to make my own buttons too but it looks like you need buy a lot of stuff
The buttons literally just pop out of the mold but I appreciate the feedback - next time I'll show that bit 😊. As for how much stuff you need to buy - it depends on how you want to customize the buttons. I have bought a lot of "add ins". All you NEED to have is the 2 part resin and a button mold. That will allow you to make clear buttons. Then you can buy stuff for add ins as you see fit 😊
Love it!
Thanks!
Fun!
💕
The buttons came out so pretty! Thanks for sharing the process. My mom would have loved them. She considered the buttons on her outfits as the jewelry. She would purchase several different button cards, bring them home and take the buttons off the cards to see which ones she liked best on her outfit. Then of course she couldn't return them since they were off the cards. So when she died my sister and I had a great time going through all her leftover buttons and dividing them up.
Oh wow - that's such a lovely story - thank you so much for sharing! You must cherish those buttons!
Oh I loved this and I want to make some now ❤. You do have lots of kit though and I can see the temptation to buy more and more colours and moulds 😅. I can't understand how the holes come out clean though, have you ever had to 're drill' them or anything? This is just up your street with your talent for colour and originality 😍. Thanks for sharing this xx
You SHOULD make some! I did have to redrill the holes when I first started making them and didn't know to scrape off the excess on the top. But I didn't have any issues with this batch.
I may have to try this. Fun stuff
Definitely give it a try - it's so much fun!
Nice buttons are so hard to find especially ones to coordinate with a specific project. I was just thinking…I have leftover seed beads from stitchery projects…could be a good use for button filler! Love the purple color you chose and it would go with either fabric choice. Have you felt you need/want to change your clothing color pallet to go with your new hair? Just wondering… 😊. Hercules is such a doll. I’m glad he’s happy in doggie daycare so you can travel a bit. Thanks again for sharing.
Ooh YES! seed beads would look beautiful inside buttons! No, I don't need to change my color palette - actually, based on my color analysis - this hair color fits right in with my "season" 💕
Thanks for sharing how to make these .. I thought it might be a bit more complicated.. I would luv to be able to make my buttons to match my fabric.. especially with my local fabric shop closing🙁
It's SO easy and you can customize them however you want!
💜💜💜
💕
Be interesting to know cost per button. I like how you can customize your buttons to be what you want. I have admired the Ethel and Joan and Pigeon Wishes buttons.
I'm sure if I took a few minutes I could figure that out :). I love being able to customize and make pretty buttons that I can't find out in the world. I also enjoy looking at Pigeon Wishes buttons - I'll have to check out Ethel and Joan! Thanks!!
Hi Hercules! thanks for sharing your process. those purple buttons are absolutely beautiful. can't wait to see what creative combos you come up with next.
Thanks Sara! I'm addicted 😊
Those buttons are so pretty. I'm glad you shared this - I've been thinking of doing something similar
You totally should! It was fun and you can do SO much customization!!
Your buttons are beautiful! This has go me excited to give the process a try. I'm ordering goodies right now! Thank you ~ Peggy
Have fun with it!!
A must try! Thanks for sharing
Hope you enjoy 😊
Thank you for sharing. I bought the resin that requires the lamp after watching your video I may try the two part . One question have you had any yellowing of the resin as time goes by? Also, love your new hair you look fab!
Hi Michele - I have not had problems with my buttons yellowing - but I haven't been making them for a very long time yet either. Thanks!!
I have been wanting to try making my own buttons for a bit since I haven’t been able to find the ones I want. Thank you so much for showing how easy it is! Are there a lot of fumes coming off of the resin?
NO fumes that I've noticed at all! You should give it a try 😊
@@MichelleSewsAgain I am going to! I ordered some molds and a couple silicone mats from Amazon, and I plan to get some resin tomorrow at JoAnn. I am so excited!
Love your hair! Are the buttons washer safe?
Thank you! Yes, from what I've been able to find online, the resin is safe to go through the washing machine. I might not put them through a dryer though - not sure how they'd do in the heat. I'm glad you asked that question - I'll be sure to address it next time I make a button video!
@@MichelleSewsAgain Thank you.
Very disappointing that the Etsy links for the molds go to a page that says unavailable, both item and seller!!
Sorry that that happened - this video is a year old though. Here is a link to a seller that carries button molds - hopefully you'll find something that works for you :)

@@MichelleSewsAgain Thank you so much for sending that to me, you have inspired me to give this a try!
