We borrowed an old button maker of a friend. Looks interesting, right :)?

We use alot of vintage embroidery for our bags, but some pieces are damaged or stained and can't be used for that. So we wanted something to not throw those pieces away.
With some simple materials and muscle strength...

...We now have these super cute buttons.
