Have y'all been enjoying the DIY's?! I need your input & feedback! Please comment below! 👇👇👇
I won & bought this sweater off of eBay, for $23.00!!! It's all cashmere, big and slouchy, which I wanted and totally the perfect color! I'm guessing you can now call me an eBay ninja! (Just kidding!) but around the same time, I won/bought a turquoise ring too!
So, I for one, didn't want to look like a man's sweater. I wanted a feminine touch to it. So what I did was change the buttons. It's easy peasy!
Go get yo supplies together:
Small Scissors or seam ripper
New buttons ( I used glass & covered buttons, I mixed & matched the buttons, it gives it character!)
Thread
Needle
Cardigan
Step 1. Lay out your cardigan.
Step 2: snip buttons of the sweater.
Step 3: It should look like this.
Steps 4 & 5: thread your needle. And tie it off.
Step 6: pull the thread through the sweater.
Step 7: load your thread with a button. (And no, there isn't an invisible button on that thread, I just forgot to include a pic for this step!)
Step 8. Attach the button securely by tying it off.
Step 9: snip the remaining thread.
Step 10: yay! We're 60% done!!! Only two more buttons to sew on!
Step 11: and done! Complete! It's cute right?!
P.S. Save your old buttons, in case you ever decide to give or sell your sweater. Or use the buttons on a different garment. You'll find a way to use them again, I promise!
So there ya have it! Let me know how it goes for y'all! I'd love to hear!
Oh and there's upcoming things I going to share with y'all soon! Can't wait! 👏☺
XOXO, Ryn

Such a great idea! I've done this before when I've lost several buttons, I love the mismatched button look!
