Create a fun hat. Here we have sewn a set of Incomparable butterfly buttons to a plain white hat. What you will need: 1 or more hats, a set of Incomparable buttons, needle + thread, and about 15 minutes of your time - its that easy. | |
| |
 |
 | |
| | Before (plain and boring) | After (arty and fun) | |
| | Another fun idea is to create a 'hat band' where buttons are sewn onto a band of fabric which can be added to any number of hats. Using a fabric with some elasticity helps make the band more easily interchangeable among different hats. | |
| |
Embellish shoes and sandals: Add Incomparable buttons (any design you choose) to a pair of sandals and see how the buttons transform your shoes. What you will need: 1 pair shoes, 2 Incomparable buttons, 1 chenille needle + a good quality thread. | |
| |  |  | |
| | Before (the usual) | After (funky and fashionable) | |
| |
Here is a quick and fun project: Add 1 set of Incomparable flower buttons (L91) to a plain leather bag and see how the buttons bring the bag to life. What you will need: 1 bag, 1 set L91 buttons, 1 chenille needle + thread. | |
| |  |  | |
| | Before (yawn) | After (hey what fun) | |

| Small tins with buttons glued onto the lid make interesting and handy containers for paper clips, buttons and more.
The buttons suit any shape of tin and look good on a variety of surfaces
such as wood, ceramic and metal. We suggest using a strong craft glue or hot glue gun to adhere the buttons. |

This wooden tray has been
embellished with a selection of navy craft pieces and Incomparable tiles
in a beautiful checker pattern. To complete the effect we recommend
using a clear resin to cover over the pieces giving a flat smooth
surface. |

Incomparable gift tags add a lovely
festive flair to these glass jars. Gold ribbon has been used to tie the
tag around the neck of each jar and adds an extra sparkle.
Use gift tags on Birthday and Christmas presents. After the presents have been opened the
craft piece or button can be removed from the tag and used again and again.
A great corporate gift idea and fun for
the home too. |

... the variety of options is limitless.

Pictured alongside is another fun,
quick and easy embellishment idea for adding a lovely finishing

A more traditional use for
Incomparable Buttons. These
tiny duck buttons make the perfect closure on this child's warm
winter top. In this instance the yellow ducks complement the
yellow woolen top beautifully for the cutest finishing touch.

Add a 2 inch Incomparable button to the
top of a ribbon when you wrap your next gift to create a truly striking
finish. Here we have glued a 2 inch button (L339)
onto a gold Ribbon. |

| Here is a selection of 3 small scented pillows which have been embellished with 3 different Incomparable buttons. Note how the addition of just one button is enough to accentuate the entire pillow. Create sets of fashionable pillows using Incomparable hat, bag and shoe buttons. Earthy fabric tones work really well with these specific buttons. |
