\"Vintage<\/a><\/p>\n

Hello!<\/p>\n

Not too long ago I sat down to create my next project for Step by Step Wire<\/em> magazine. \u00a0I had made twisted wire spirals that seemed to\u00a0make the perfect back drop for something special. \u00a0\u00a0I tried stitching a few vintage mother of pearl buttons on to the spirals with thin-gauge wire. The twisted wire around the edges created a nice border. \u00a0I was inspired to use some of those pretty mother of pearl buttons again that I had saved in a jar! \u00a0Why wait til the summer to enjoy a little white? We’ve certainly had our share of white this winter here on the East Coast! \u00a0Our snow days are all used and we’ll be borrowing from summer vacation days before long.<\/p>\n

Do you collect mother of pearl buttons? \u00a0Any two-hole button will do. Gather up a few of your favorite buttons – ceramic, lampwork, vintage or new and create twisted wire + button pendants. \u00a0You can find this project in the February-March 2014 issue of <\/a>Step by Step Wire<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
