Hi there! It's Papertrey's monthly blog hop and this time the challenge is to use buttons. Perfect timing! The girls who work in the school office with me have a little contest going on right now about who can wear their ID badge in the 'coolest' way. I decided to use buttons, twill and linen thread to create the best ID badge lanyard in the building. I even sewed a buttonhole by hand!
Kind of beachy...I like it. Thanks for hopping by:)
Until next time...M
Supplies: PTI ivory twill; PTI hawaiian shores, aqua mist, spring moss and rustic buttons; SU linen thread; plastic badge sleeve
What a clever idea!

It is a great idea to think of a way to dress up a lanyard, nice job. I'm sure it will get a lot of envious looks.

Oh Snap, what a spectacular idea!!!
Posted by: Jewels | March 26, 2010 at 11:47 AM
I too wear a lanyard to school everyday and this beats my black, plain one. We are all color coded so I would have to stick to black buttons. Hmmmm. Great job.
Posted by: Lisa V. | March 26, 2010 at 01:00 PM
You will definitely have the best lanyard in the whole building! So clever of you to use the buttons!! :o)

Definitely a cool way to wear a badge - you should think about making these and selling them!

Very creative!
Posted by: AnitaRex | March 26, 2010 at 11:27 PM
Button accented lanyards! How cute. We just got photo IDs at work and I sure don't like them clipped to my clothes. this is a nice alternative.
Posted by: Pat | March 27, 2010 at 02:20 PM
Maria, you win the badge wearing lanyard contest HANDS down! This is so clever!
Posted by: Dana | March 27, 2010 at 06:03 PM
