We were hoping to have our new blog design and links to both our ETSY hand-stamped sterling silver jewelry shop and also our supply store, in time for the Sew Mama Sew giveaway . . . but good things take time! Instead of waiting, Darcy and I decided to go forward anyway and giveaway $75 in supplies. We are getting ready for the summer craft show season here in Upstate NY and will have some fun new mother's jewelry back in the shop soon!
So for the giveaway we will be giving away and assortment of cover buttons in size 30, 36 and 45, the cover buttons tools, rare earth magnets and some aanraku bails in both the leaf design and the new heart design. With these supplies your DIY options will be endless. Cover button magnets, cover button pendants, cover button ponytail and pigtails and anything else you can think of to make with a cover button. You might even want a few to use as say BUTTONS!
50 rare earth magnets and sample tube of E6000
50 size 45 buttons with your choice of flat or wire backs
Our favorite size for Ponytails
5 medium heart bails and 5 small leaf bails both Aanraku
(perfect for making scrabble tile, glass tile or covered button pendants)
50 size 36 cover buttons, your choice of flat or wire backs
this is a great size for pigtails or magnets
And 50 Size 30 buttons with your choice of wire or flat backs
this is our favorite size for magnets, especially with small scale fabric prints
(fabric in photo is not part of the giveaway, just a little fun eye candy)
All three button sizes will come with the cover tool and in our fun and functional labeled muslin bags, so you can keep those buttons straight!

I've never used any cover buttons, I would love to see tutorials for what you could do with them.
What a fabulous giveaway, I just started making cover button elastics for my girls, it's so much fun! I would love to learn how to make the scrabble tile necklaces. Thank you so much for the chance to win :)

Oh My that is a great prize! Perhaps tutorials on various ways to use the covered buttons? I've seen them used for hairclips. I think they might be fun on rings (not sure best way to do that) or to decorate other things. I think some kind of review of different supplies to use for stuff is good too. I bought some diamond glue stuff for scrabble tiles but haven't used it yet. I've heard mixed reviews on it and would love another suggestion.
Thanks!
I agree with what another responder said: KITS! I like to have everything I need given right to me. Lazy much?!

i'd love to see a tutorial teaching how to cover buttons, because i'm thinking of getting a machine for my birthday and with this prize and the tutorial i would be one happy woman!!!
This is a very nice giveaway. I would like to try my hand at the ponytail button holders, and that tutorial. There are several of us with long hair in the family, and it is hot in Florida. Thank you for this giveaway. mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com
Well I don't know anything about making jewelry, so I would say that simple tutorials going over basic things, like choosing the proper chain, or how to attach a clasp would be especially helpful to me :)
Tutorials for non-standard ways of doing things (assuming your button-covering tool is standard -- if it's unique, then it needs tutorials too!), like making hairthings with them, or things I've never thought of.
Wow! What a great and unique giveaway! I'm always on the lookout for tutorials on things to do with magnets.
I'd love to check out the covered button magnet tutorial. Thanks for the generous giveaway, I purchased some buttons from you before and love the quick service!!

I really hope that your store goes well. I like a variety of tutorials but a really good scrabble tile tutorial would be good, I can't seem to find one.
Awesome giveaway! I don't have any ideas for tutorials (except, maybe how to cover a button - I've never done it!).
I love new ideas on how to use scraps. I can't bare to throw any out.
Thanks for the generous giveaway!
great giveaway! thanks for the chance to win!

The three tutorial you mentioned are all interesting to me. I think mostly the hair tie one since my hair is getting long and I want to put it up all the time now. Thanks for the chance to win. stephspitzer at gmail dot com1
I heart supplies of all kinds. These are the best I've seen in this May giveaway! Tutorials for what to do with the buttons after you cover them would be great - other than the obvious use of buttons, of course. :)
I'm very interesting in tuts for the cover buttons.
Beautiful!
Thanks for sharing,

This is a great giveaway. I love any tutorials that inspires me to make more wonderful projects. That's why I keep crafting so much. The more peolpe share, the more I want to try new things to make. Thanks for the chance to win.
Well, since I have no idea how to cover all these buttons I'm going to win, I think a cover button tute will be the first on my list!!! I've purchased ponytails for my daughter before, but never seen them made. Thanks for this generous giveaway chance!!

I would love a tutorial on how to make cute bobby pin hair accessories with a finished looking backside. I made some for some kids and ended up keeping them since I thought they might not want all their hair snagged out of their heads. I'm sweet to children like that.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway! Any of the tutorials would be welcome; I'm a newbie ;)

How neat is all of that!
I'd love to see the scrabble tile tute...
oooh... a craft i haven't tried! i would love to learn how to make some fun magnets.
Fantastic giveaway, and if possible, a how to on making the button magnets into jewlery would be cool, i.e. earrings, rings, necklaces...
What a cool giveaway!
It's not a tutorial per se, but I was mostly curious if you've worked with any kind of glue besides the E6000. I made a hair clip using it before and it seemed to stink FOREVER and felt odd putting it on my daughter's head where she'd be smelling it all the time. I've seen other alleged 'non-smelly' versions I think, but haven't put out the money to try them out since everyone always mentions E6000 and not the others.
I'd love to see some ways to use scraps. I have so many.
amazing!
would love to see ideas for decorating clothes using covered buttons.
I'd love to see the ponytail tutorial so that i tie nback pesky toddler locks!
Thanks for the chance!
