This probably says something about how my gift making is going but here is another last minute gift that is quick and easy to make. Buttons and paperclips glued together with hot glue make button clips! They can still be used as paperclips but the large ones make cute bookmarks as well.
The view from the back. You can use a shank button or a button with hole. Lay the paperclip over the middle of the back of the button and add some hot glue. These look really cute with the novelty type buttons too - great for kids :)
Wow! What a great idea. I am a writer so I have many unfinished books to read. I never have enough bookmarks. thanks

My friend and I love buttons to the extreme. These would have made an awesome gift for her! I'll have to remember for next year.

Very cool! My sister just found a jar of old buttons from my grandmother. I'll have to get her to check this out!
