Probably, the simplest variant of actions with buttons is their stringing on a wire, a string or a line. In such a simple way, any girl can make herself a bead or bracelet. To do this, take a thin, flexible wire that is equal to the circumference of the wrist or the desired length of the beads plus a few centimeters for the strings. On this wire string the selected buttons. When the work is done, the wire must be tied on both sides so that the pouches do not crumble.

If the clogs are made of fabric, you can sew the buttons directly to it.

Together with the children you can also make an interesting stitch or a panel on the wall. To do this, draw the desired image on the fabric (butterfly, bunny, flower) and cut it out. We make several such layers. We cover the top layer with buttons. After that, we sew all the layers together and work the edge with a decorative seam.
