Spring Into Crafts This Season

Why wait for Mother Nature to shed some colour this season, instead why not spring into action and sew some colour into your craft projects.

At Josy Rose we don’t shy away from all things bright and beautiful which is why we have a fantastic range of spring goodies to get you in the mood for getting crafty this month.

If you’re looking for ‘craftspiration’ then look no further than our top five easy to do spring craft ideas.

1.    Button Curtain Tieback

 

Let the spring sunshine in with this cute and simple to do curtain tieback craft idea, all you need is a roll of narrow ribbon and a pack of different sized buttons. Firstly, thread a large button at one end of the ribbon, once in place you can then start to sew the rest of your buttons to the rest of the ribbon at random intervals. Once completed tack down the first large button to your wall and then thread the ribbon round your curtain. To tie back the curtain wrap the end of the ribbon round the tacked down button.

2.    Ribbon shoes

Transform last season’s ballet pumps the easy way in under ten minutes. All you need is two strips of ribbon and a glue gun, with each strip you need to tie them to form a bow. Once you’re happy with the way you’ve tied the ribbon take a hot glue gun and fix the ribbon to the front on your pumps.

3.    Flower power necklace

Spring wouldn’t be complete without some flower power accessories to spice up your outfit. To create a simple flower necklace all you need is a plain loop hole chain, rings and some of our Josy Rose Handmade clay beads. Thread the beads onto the rings and then attach to the loop hole chain.

4.    Fruity button embroidery

So simple to do yet so effective, this idea involves a needle and thread, embroidery floss, a fabric pen and a selection of buttons. Take the garment you want to embroider (we suggest something like a cardigan), with a fabric pen mark where you want to place the button (where going to create a cherry design), sew the buttons on where you created the mark as the buttons will create the berries. Once attached it’s time to create the stem, for this you will need to use some green embroidery floss to create a stem stitch, to create the leaves you will need to use a satin stitch.

5.    Spring Cards

No craft list would be complete without a mention on how to make this seasons cards. With father’s day on the horizon why not opt for a personalised card rather than buying from the shop. With a fantastic range of card available and ribbon, you can create the ultimate Father’s day card for as little as you would buy one from the shop.

We hope that these handy little tips have inspired you to create something amazing this spring time, visit us online today for all your haberdashery supplies.

5 Top Button Craft Ideas For You To Try!

Button crafts are taking the crafting world by storm, a quick Google around and you will find countless Pinterest accounts, blogs and ‘How to guides’ dedicated to buttons.

At Josy Rose we are huge fans of button crafts. Why you ask? Crafting with buttons is easy, inexpensive and is the quickest way to create or transform something dull to something bright, attractive and fun. That’s not all, we believe it’s great to encourage little ones to get into crafts from an early age, and that’s why getting crafty with buttons is great for children when accompanied by an adult.

Below we have listed 5 top button craft ideas to help get you started!

1.    Update your wardrobe

Have you been wearing the same coat for the past couple of years? Want to update your favourite dress? Looking for a cute t-shirt design for your little one? Using buttons to update your wardrobe is the easiest and inexpensive form of crafts! Sew some new buttons on to your coat, add some funky buttons to your dress and come up with a button design for a t-shirt for your child.  It is that easy!

2.    Jewellery

You can find button jewellery everywhere now on the high-street, but why buy it when you can make it for a fraction of the price. All you need is a plain loop hole chain, rings and some buttons. If you’re a bit apprehensive why not try taking a simple hair grip and add a button to the top of the grip, it takes five minutes and all you need is a grip, a button and glue.

3.    Home Art

Button wall art is fast becoming a trend in the crafting world. With a pack of buttons, a frame and some creative imagination you can create a unique piece of wall art, perfect for displaying in your child’s bedroom.

4.    Holiday Decorations

Buttons are great for using over the holiday period. Transform a plain holiday wreath by adding red and gold buttons and a big bow.  Or if you’re not fantastic at carving out a pumpkin at Halloween, why not form a ghoulish character out of buttons. This idea is simple yet fun for all the family!

5.    Card Design

An easy way to create a unique card design is by using buttons, simply sketch out a design (for example a love heart) and fill that design with various styles of buttons. Another option is to use buttons as lettering to display a personalised message, simple yet thoughtful.

We hope that these tips have inspired you to start crafting. At Josy Rose we have an extensive range of buttons online from Diamanté to shell, plastic to metal or singular buttons to packs.

Make A Fashion Statement With Studs!

This season, fashion studs have been featured all over the catwalk, these designs have now been incorporated into the high street shops. Following upcoming trends can prove to be quite costly especially if you want to purchase a few key pieces.

The alternative solution is to utilise what you have inside your wardrobe and to turn to crafts. Sometimes approaching fashion craft projects can be daunting, you don’t want to ruin what you’re customising, and you don’t want to spend too much creating something you could have easily brought cheaper in store.

At Josy Rose we have a massive range of claw backed studs available in all shapes, sizes and colours at very affordable prices. All you need to start your own fashion craft project is a pair of craft pliers (£4.99), a seam ripper (£1.90), and the stud(s) you wish to use. Depending on what you are customising you may also need some strong glue and/or a needle and thread.

Customising pieces of clothing with studs is possibly one of the easiest projects you can do. On many materials such as cotton and denim you can create your own design by pushing clawed back studs through your clothing and folding the claws so your stud is firmly attached.

Fashion accessories such as bags and shoes can also be studded easily. With the use of a seam ripper you can unpick the lining of a bag so you can insert studs on the outside and fold down the claws in the inside. With a needle and thread you can sew up the lining to hide the back of the studs, it’s that easy. Shoes can be customised similarly to clothing, with clawed back studs you can pierce them through the shoe fabric (if it’s thin enough) to create edgy styled shoes.





The most common studs used on clothing and accessories are mini rounded edge studs, vintage star studs, and square pyramid claw studs, all costing just £2.45 per 10 grams. For inspiration and tutorials on how to create your own stud designs visit our YouTube channel- TheJosyRoseChannel.

Studs are simple to use and very effective, to view our full collection of studs visit our website JosyRose!
