HANDMADE BRANCH BUTTONS. 6 handmade wooden branch slice hedgehog sewing buttons. These are made from branch slices collected from own personal property. The bark is still attached. Since these are branch slices the buttons will not be exactly the same as no branch in nature is the same all the way down the branch. These are washable and dryer safe.
These have an engraved image of an adorable hedgehog on them. These will make a beautiful addition to your handmade items and are perfect for anyone that loves nature or hedgehogs.
How they are made:
These buttons start with collecting the perfect branch. I use naturally fallen branches and do not harm trees in the making of my buttons. The branch is then cut to button size and sanded. I then decide on the image and once the design has been determined I then manipulate it so that it can be engraved. Some of the design is engraved darker and some lighter. Once the image and holes have been added the branch slices are covered in an artists grade resin. This makes the buttons glossy but also durable. The wood is left it's natural colour. They can be washed in the washing machine and thrown in the dryer.
Size: Approximately 1" or 25 mm round. Note - branches are not all the same size so the buttons will be slightly different sizes. Approximately 1/8" or 3 mm thick. While I try to keep the buttons all similar in size, because they are branches and hand cut they will not be exactly the same size.
Two holes.
The top of the buttons is coated with a glossy resin. This makes the buttons more durable.
These are machine washable and dryer safe.
Please remember that no two buttons will look exactly the same. The buttons you receive however will closely resemble each other in size and markings as they come from the same branch. Each set is also slightly different.
Please note that no trees were harmed in the making of my buttons. I use naturally fallen tree branches collected from the forest floor.
These buttons are part of my primitive series of artisan buttons. They are each little pieces of art.
Other Important Stuff:
Colours:
Please note that different computer monitors display colours differently. Colours may look slightly differently in person than they do on your computer screen.
Choking Hazard:
Please note my buttons are small and like any small item they are a choking hazard. Please do not use them on items for young children under three or children who might like to chew on them. Please take care.
