My mum was looking at a beautiful but expensive home decor/gift catalogue and showed me a picture of a button jar in it that cost £10 and said “You could make something like that” - well, I am always up for a challenge.
The mini kilner jar in the posh catalogue had a ceramic top but I had bought a box of 10 similar jars from The Range for about £7.99, (about a year ago), I think they are for a spice rack really – so the cost of my jar works out at about 80p
I took the orange rubber seal off the jar as I didn’t think I needed it. I made the tag using a firm kraft brown card. I put it through my printer using 2 Peas High Tide Font for the word ‘buttons’. All I needed to do then was to add an old wooden button and some twine and attach it to the jar.
I can think of quite a few people who would love this as a little present with a few lovely buttons in.
