Indulgy - Everyone deserves a perfect world! It's Me, KP. FRÖKEN SKICKLIG [fr'ö:ken ²sj'ik:lig] Noodlehead. Fabric button necklaces. I always love colourful and big necklaces.
So I got an idea of a simple necklace with big fabric-covered button as the pendant. It’s not a new idea actually, there’s already a lot of button accessories everywhere, but I love making them. I think it’s a good way of using fabric scraps that are too pretty to throw away. The pendants are made with Japanese kimono fabrics, the colours are so vibrant and they have some kind of coated sheen over it. I use vintage necklaces for the chain. I’ve made a series of pictures to show how I made the necklaces. How I made the necklace: Supplies: fabric-covered buttons kit.scrap of fabric for front of pendant.scrap of fabric for back of pendant.fabric scissors and fabric marker.modpodge or its alternative.
There are several types of fabric-covered buttons. The kit comes with a template. Place fabric on the kit and place button over it. Push the button all the way down. Place the back of button and put the pusher over it. A fabric-covered button! A necklace! How To Turn Old Paperbacks into Custom Hardbacks.

Happy Jul everybody!
The Christmas season in Denmark is called Jul, (pronounced “Yule”) and starts on December 1 with a variety of traditions, foods and activities that will continue until the evening of December 24th, a day known as Juleaften. I come from a long line of Scandinavians. We’ve got Norwegians, Danes and Swedes in the bloodline, so I tend to cherry-pick the traditions, foods and activities my ancestors participated in, and bring only my favorites into everyday life. For example, I do not condone the practice of raping and pillaging villagers/villages like my Viking ancestors did, but DO think that the Viking burial ceremony of sending the body of the deceased out to sea, in a boat stuffed with supplies for the afterworld, while all his friends and neighbors shoot burning arrows at the boat from the shoreline until the boat catches fire and sinks is pretty awesome, and the way I would like to be buried, thank you.
