Using beading thread, vintage buttons were stitched to a scrap of pleather.
(I can't get the top photo to load vertically....)
I knotted the threads to the back and left the tails attached.
Taking some of the smaller buttons, a silver heart and using beading wire, I made a charm.
For stability I used a piece of cardboard on the back. The charm was looped through beading wire and glued between the cardboard and the front piece.
Over the cardboard I glued a piece of red, fake suede. The pin is a little heavy for the pin closures I have, so I will get a larger pin closure to glue to the back.
Once the pin closure is glued in place, the pin will be ready for gifting. I loved making this simple pin.

I love it! Are you sure you want to give it away? I can picture it on a quiltlet! You'll have to make some more!
