Not just for Easter, but any time of the year. This  Free Button bunny cross stitch pattern could be adapted to suit any colour scheme you like and would also look great made into a cushion or stitched on a blanket for a nursery.

Reuse of buttons


Button bobby pins

I made these using a beautiful set of handmade Snowstorm buttons from GrannysTweedJacket £4.00. They are handmade polymer clay buttons in black and white, with just a touch of glitter mixed in to them. I think they set off my silver streaks in my hair beautifully. I love this mini project as it's so quick to do and you can customise it to match any outfit. Plus it makes finding you bobby pins much easier. You can see a full tutorial of how to make button bobby pins here.
