I was chatting in the comments with Helen over @Helen_kittycat_crafts about our love ❤️ of button jars, oh I also love collecting buttons in tins too.
If you dont have many buttons you could make some out of paper or fabric here are some of my Process Videos

I think I am going to make these into magnets. Very relaxing indeed.
Oh Mikki what a fabulous idea, there have been some lovely suggestions. Have fun creating 🩵
Love the slow stitch button jar! Lovely idea ☺️
Pan thank you so much, I imagine you have a few buttons 🧵
This is so cool. I think most people have a lot of buttons just waiting to be used.
Jennifer thank you and so true. 🩵
What an adorable project!
Oh thank you so much 🩵
Oh Janet! I LOVE buttons. These are just so fun and adorable! They would make special gift tags too. Christmas would be so cute! Thanks for a great idea!
Linda oh I know, buttons, jars, tins yes Christmas themed I hope we remind one another to do that, maybe hanging on the tree 🎄 have fun creating today.
Loved this project. I have lots of jars and tins of buttons. It started when I played with buttons in my Mamaws button tin as a child.
Thank you so much, same with me, doesn’t it feel nostalgic to sort and create with buttons. 🩵🧵
Such a lovely slow stitch project , so whimsical, I can't help but smile looking at these ! It was a lovely distraction for me, I looked at all the jars on my haberdashery shelf ( with Hattie's help of course🧚♀🧵). You could translate this idea into a fabric scrap jar, a thread jar, so many possibilities! They could be strung together as a banner to hang across our haberdashery shop window😊🧵. Would look lovely made into hearts💖💙💜. This will be a nice gentle project to do whilst sitting with Anna. Thanks so much for sharing dear Janet🧚♀🧵🪡💖
Maria thank you so much, oh we do love our haberdashery don’t we. Running our little whimsical haberdashery is going to be so much easier now Hattie the haberdashery fairy is there to help, a little fairy dust here ✨🧚🏼 a little fairy dust there and it will all be spick and span in no time.
Wonderful ideas to extend and put a new spin on these little jars 🫙
Go gently Maria, love to you and your family 🩵🐨
My goodness I just love what you're doing it's so delightful so sweet thank you for this amazing idea 💡 see you next time enjoy the sunshine ☀ of the day lovely lady
Kaye thank you so much, have a wonderful time sewing 🧵 take good care of yourself 🩵
Oh, I love your button jars, Janet! I think these are my favorites of all the little things you’ve made with tulle. And how wonderful, the way the buttons bunched up when you sewed around the jar, making them look so realistic! 😃 Thank you for sharing this cute slow stitch idea! 😊❤️🐾
Oh Cat thank you so much, I really felt the need to play with buttons ! 🧵 I was surprised how they bunched up too. When something gets lots of stitches it seems to make the fabric smaller. Now wouldn’t a bag be nice like this ? I think you call that a purse ?
Stay nice and cool and have a lovely creative week. 🩵😊☕️
@@janetnash They really turned out so cute! 😊 Oh, wow, yes a purse made like that would be really cute, too! Oh gosh, it is so hot and humid right now… 😰 I’m staying inside in the air conditioning as much as possible, only popping outside occasionally to check on my plants. 🪴
@CatHand oh yes you stay inside in the cool, take good care 🩵
Love the button jar!!
Rachel thank you so much 🧵🩵
Ni Janet and all absolutely. love cats your button jars 😅❤
I thought you would love Lisa’s cats 🐈 Still thinking of you it’s early days and I know you Miss Pusscat 🩵
Beautiful yellow roses and dog pic😅❤
Pamela good evening, the Rose is called Golden Jubilee bought in 2012 to celebrate the Queens Jubilee it was the year the Olympics were in London too. Isn’t that a cute picture Katie painted. Do hope you can get some sleep Nite nite 🩵
These jars are so sweet...definitely going through my buttons now. Thank you!
Irene thank you so much, have loads of relaxing fun sorting buttons 🩵🫖
Those are just adorable ❤
Peggy thank you so much 🩵
I love collecting buttons also, I still have some from my Daughter's baby clothes 52 years old. I put all my Holiday ones like (Halloween) in small little yogurt jars and crochet lids for them!
Gloria oh those buttons must be so special to you. I had a little ladybird button from the boys dressing gown and it’s on a cushion now. Your yogurt pots with crocheted lids sound absolutely adorable 🧶😊
I love that idea! I have lots and lots of buttons! I am so going to make a few of the button jars. I love jars too! Always looking for a good jar. Thanks for sharing this cute idea! Love to Freddie!😍😍😍
Catherine thank you so much. I do hope you have a relaxing time sewing during those little quiet moments. Yes I love button jars, 🫙 but also love them for other bits and bobs too and in the kitchen, especially if they are vintage. Freddie sends his love 🐾🐾
Oh brilliant idea ⭐️ thank you Janet x
An absolute pleasure. I do hope you get some time this week to create 🩵
What a lovely video, I enjoyed it so much. I love buttons, have collected them since I was 17, especially mother of pearl, I’m 70 now!
You asked us who sent you the Viking ship button in metal, I sent it to you last year, together with some other metal buttons, it’s such fun to see you enjoying them. Thank you Janet for everything you do for us, it’s so comforting to watch your live show and videos every week. You are so talented 🧵🪡💙🐾🩵 love to you, Freddie & Flo from Coco & myself 💕🌸🍃
Oh thank you for your kind words Pamela and good afternoon Coco 🐾
You have sent me some beautiful buttons and I did wonder when I found the metal ship if it was from you, thank you. I put it somewhere safe, because I am planning a little seaside theme project and think it will fit in beautifully, I wonder what the history is, was it on a blazer or uniform ? I once found a metal button with the ( paramount or was it MGM logo on) probably from the uniform of someone working in a cinema back in the 50’s ?
Take good care Pamela and Coco 🩵🧵
@@janetnash Hello Janet, the Viking ship button was on a hand knitted Norwegian jumper. I have quite a few Swedish brass uniform buttons, they are so beautiful and chunky. I’ve always had a love for Buttons and Glass Beads, do you remember the lovely Trade beads from the ‘60s and ‘70’s ? ☮️✌️Take care dear Janet, Freddie & Flo from Coco and myself 💕🐾💙
Pamela and little Coco, what a beautiful Cardi that must have been. I remember the little seed beads ( we called them love beads and used to make necklaces ☮️
i love this - i absolutely love this - thank you Janet - and all the fur babies!!! Big hugs - always a pleasure to spend some quiet time with you - its been hard for me 🤗💜
Dearest Janet sending so much love your way, Birthdays and 4th July make life even harder ? So glad you can spend a little quiet moment with us 🐾❤️🕯️
Love your sweet little button jar, thank you for sharing 🪡🧵♥️
Lisa thank you so much for your lovely kind words
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this. That store you were in on vacation had an amazing selection of button beauties! What a fun and fresh idea this is 🫙🪡🧵 Doris is WONDERFUL, such a beautiful girl 🐾💜 Loved Alysse's "scrap" crochet blanket too, what a fun visit with the critters and creations. Freddie is looking handsome as ever 🖤🤍🖤
Someday when you're bored (or maybe for a unique "flip through Friday") I would LOVE a tour of your desk...right now there's a large black (pin cushion ?) pumpkin-shaped something with an XL button on top, a wooden mushroom (pestle?), there are so many fun things there to see.
Lovely to see you Ker, isn’t Doris lovely and I love Lisa’s accent it’s like my Mums.
Aww the desk is ever changing ! ( my lovely neighbour Katie gave me the little black pumpkin pincushion, but of course Flo 🧚🏼 had to have it !
Love to you and little Bits 🐾
Oh, Janet! This I love so much. It's a fun and fabulous project that really speaks to my button-hunting heart. I MUST make one, or two, or... Much love! 🥰🥰🥰
Majella thank you so much, oh yes we love buttons don’t we. Have fun creating, some wonderful suggestions coming in too. Wouldn’t they make a lovely banner / bunting ? Have fun creating 🩵
@@janetnash My mind is spinning...🐦🐦🐦
It’s wonderful to ponder these things isn’t it 🩵
This so cute!! 😍😍😍
Susan thank you so much. Do hope all is well 🩵

Oh my!!!! I love it, Janet....so creative. Tell freddie I said Hi !!!!!
Barbra thank you so much, I really did find this so relaxing, love from Freddie and me 🩵🐾
I would love to make this adorable button jar. I also love the hearts you made with little scraps sandwiched between the netting. I just need to remember to get some netting. ☕🤗🕯️
Karen oh lovely I do hope you have fun creating and find it relaxing. Have you got any tulle I used it for a heart and it worked well ( maybe one of the little tulle gift bags ) ? 🩵🧵
Janet your button collection is stupendously yummy. Thank you for a wonderful project and the tulle is the netting on the cake jar so to speak❤❤❤❤
@@magnoliabird thank you so much Deborah, I found it so relaxing sewing on the buttons, I am wondering what else I can sew buttons on now !!! You take good care of yourself today 🩵
So cute
Oh thank you Beth I find buttons so relaxing, oh this would work with beads too 🩵
Another beautiful project Janet. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much Teresa, J know you love buttons, do you remember the button stamp you made with loads of buttons for the gel plate ?
@@janetnash YES MAM I STILL HAVE THAT BUT IT IS PACKED UP FOR NOW. I HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH THINGS AND TOSSING THEM. I WILL BE GLAD WHEN OUR THRIFT STORE OPENS BACK UP AGAIN, I NEED TO DONATE STUFF
@teresac205 oh wow Teresa great job, sorting can be so exhausting, it will be lovely to donate them too 🩵
Very pretty idea. I like it!❤
Thank you so much 🧵
Another cute slow stitch idea, thank you Janet. I do have a button jar story! So when I was little, my grandmother had a big 4 litre ice cream tub full of buttons, that she’d let me play with whenever I came over. It was my favourite thing to do at her house, sort and organize the hundreds of buttons. Then, when she sold her house and moved when I was in my teens, I found out she left the bucket o’ buttons behind, instead of giving them to me. 😮😮😮. I think it traumatized me a bit, as from then on I had to buy every bag of buttons I saw. My grandmother also felt guilty, as she also started buying me every bag of buttons she came across. 😂😂 Thankfully I’ve gotten over it, after selling 25 litres of buttons off when I was packing to move, although I still have quite a few jars left. 😂
Jennifer thank you so much, buttons bring back such happy memories for you, how wonderful your Grandmother collected some for you. How do you display your buttons ? 😊🧵
Another wonderful, relaxing, and inspiring video. I absolutely love buttons; their shapes, textures, and colors lend to their fun. I plan on doing this project and possibly making the cover out of the button jar. 🩷 Thank you and take care.
Jessica thank you so much. Oh me too, they are just so relaxing to sort, use and display aren’t they. What sort of cover ? Will you use it for a little journal or needle book ?
Thank you, you take good care too 🩵🧚🏼
💜🎶Good day Janet .. Beautiful button jars .. Your friend makes are beautiful and I love her cat .. Thanks for sharing all your bits and Bob's 💜🎶🇨🇦
Caroline so lovely to see you, thank you so much, I did have fun creating the little jars. Have you been back to the lake to see the rocks ? 🐞 have a lovely week 🩵

Anjo I am so glad you are safely home and able to relax for a bit after your busy day. Oh thank you. You have a relaxing evening too. 🩵😊🫖
I love the button jars Janet …you could have one as a badge or even appliqué a couple on a jacket instead of pockets !! Hurray for Freddie and Flo …..
Oh Jim thank you, oh definitely, great idea and I do love a brooch/pin. Maybe two made into a needle book ? Oh the possibilities 🧵
I will be trying this project…. Love it.. ❤❤❤😊
Kathy oh thank you, have loads of fun creating 🩵🧵🫙
Dear Janet this is another lovely project. I have a heart's desire to make all your special things that you have shown us. I've already made the bird. But I want to make tea cup and a teapot and a cat. Have you done a dog and now you have done this lovely. I would like to make them all in a slow Stitch Journal
Judie oh thank you so much. I do hope the packing is going well, will be thinking of you. When you are settled in your new home you will be able to do some stitching 🧵 Freddie and Flo send their love 🩵

Kristina thank you so much, oh you had jars didn’t you ??? what did you fill them with ? 🩵🐨

Oh Helen our conversation sparked me thinking and oh yes different sizes would be fun too. Totally therapeutic I agree. Have a lovely time relaxing with you water colours, love to little Joy from Flo 🧚🏼🧚🏼
Ohhhhh! This is sooooo gooood! 😍😍😍😍😍 a small button jar would make a fantastic brooch. You are a constant inspiration and influence for gentle art. 💕💕💕💕💕 love from me and Gracie.
Dear Maryellen and Gracie, oh a brooch what a fabulous idea thank you. Sending you both love 🧵😊
Hello my dear Janet. This is such a creative and fantastic idea! I love it so much and will be making multiple jars. Freddy looks nice and comfy. Sending my love to you.
Karon ❤
Karon thank you so much, I can’t tell you how relaxing these are to make, fun to sort through and so gentle to sew. Sending love to you Karon 🩵
The button jars, the buttons, Lisa's animals, the roses, the wildflowers..........all gorgeous! 😍
Harmony thank you so much, oh I knew you would love Lisa’s lovely cosy cats.
Hope you are having a gentle day 🩵
Great idea. Could make a little one for a pin.
Lorri thank you so much and that is such a great idea I just live a pin or a brooch thank you 🩵🧵
Your videos are so good
Thank you so much for being so lovely and encouraging 🩵
No problem
I don't have a wide enough assortment of interesting buttons in order to do this project HOWEVER, Janet you have shown us on a number of occasions creating our own buttons using supplies such as cardstock, cardboard, paper, fabrics and markers to make our own whimsical buttons and I think using those would make this a same but different project. You and Freddie the project manager. are always inspiring us
Barb’ra thank you so much for this amazingly helpful comment, I can’t believe I didn’t mention this I even had the paper buttons by my side. You make such a valid point, straight away I pinned a link and put links in the description box. ‘ team work makes the dream work ‘ Freddie and Colin say hi 💚
Thanks a lot for the big idea i'll do it! ❤
Oh great have loads of fun 🧵🫖
@@janetnash 💕💕💕
Cool💙
Thank you so much Lisa 🩵
Janet, that is lovely. I really want to make a jar button. This doesn't look overwhelming. Just wish I had your set up and availability of material especial buttons. Wish me luck. 🇺🇸
@@florider8731 Flo thank you so much, oh I know I seem to go for simplicity at the moment it helps so much. I have some fabric buttons process videos linked in the description great for using up fabric and thread scraps. Also on this weeks process video I will be making some too. It may help. Enjoy creating 🧵
I love it! Great for my slow stitch journal. Today's Quote:" "Each person who delivers kindness stays with us forever." - Robin S. Sharma." Harry Potter and the friends, Ladybird on a flower with his cat friend, a wooden mushroom, Flo and Jennifer had journals on their laps. A banana for a snack. Lisa and her fur babies. Doris, Annie, Derek, Mary, Tea, Mini and Kitty. Love the crochet blankets. Freddy waited patiently for the treats. Huge HUGS From Lillian, Rose and Josephine, Buddy, Rose, Lulu Ladybug, and Pineapple County Gang.🐞🧚🐾
Lala thank you so much, it will be a lovely gentle no pressure sew for your fabric journal. Thank you for the lovely quote. Sending love to you all, Flo sends her love to little Lillian ladybug 🐞 fairy 🧚♀️ and Freddie sends his love to little Buddy.
Good night 😴 sweet dreams. Love you 🐞🐾🧚
@lalagamma4452 sending hugs your way 🫂
Back at you sweet girl. 🐞🐾🧚
Lovely video, Janet. It was lovely to see a gentle listener and her cats and dogs.
Hugs achta all Karen ❤❤❤😂😂😂
Karen oh thank you so much, wasn’t it lovely to see Lisa’s fur babies and beautiful crochet too. Do hope all is well. Happy crocheting 🐾❤️🧚🏼
@janetnash
All good, thank you. Finished my crochet emotional support chicken!!. I will send a photo tomorrow.
Hugs achta all Karen
@orbs66 oh wonderful you are so on trend with your emotional support chicken and Taylor Swift dress !!! 🧶
Nite nite
@@janetnash Lol, just drawn to certain things
Night beautiful soul
@@orbs66 sleep tight 😴
I love that girl…..
Cal thank you so much, sending love 💕
I love this project, Janet. How relaxing to sit and quietly sew buttons on. Some soft music and gentle happy memories as you sew. Lovely. Thank you!
Marti thank you, oh I know it’s just so relaxing to gently sew buttons isn’t it 🩵😊 sending love
It is wonderful how many things you can create with the netting.
Thank you Lisa it’s fun to create isn’t it, helps us relax. Sending love 🩵😊
Loving the button jars! 😍What about a flat button flower posy, with a cut out bow on Janet?!😃
Oh what an absolutely amazing idea I do love a brooch, it does fit in with this cosy feeling I have at the moment whilst sewing and sorting buttons thank you. Are you creating at the moment ? 😊
@@janetnash I was actually thinking more of the button jar size, as in a fan shape of material with a bit coming down like a posy handle. Only an idea if you wanted to try it. Well I'm in the middle of a sketch that I will paint with watercolours. I have cut out the cardboard bit for an art journal cover I'm going to make. Cut some mixed media paper for the journal as I want to have some pages in the journal that I will create on and some pages that will inspire me to create. Just finished a crochet cardi which is too big for me, hopefully I won't grow into it 🤣, it will be my cosy 'home' cardi in the winter.
Oh I understand like a basket what a fabulous idea. After marking the baby jacket, I am thinking of crocheting a cardi for myself too, you can’t beat a cosy ‘over - sized’ cardi can you.
Your journal sounds so creative have fun and relaxing times in it 🩵
Love, love, love buttons. You can never have too many. I inherited 2 of my aunt’s button tins. I can never pass them at a thrift store. Thanks for sharing!❤❤❤
Donna oh how precious is that ! you must treasure them. I know exactly what you mean, I absolutely love buttons too 🧵
bisous
Kisses
Thank you for your wonderful videos. They provide so much comfort, inspiration and joy to me and so many others.❤
Tess thank you so much for your lovely encouraging words I do appreciate them. 🩵
