On the 6th Day of Christmas...



Here at MODA we are crazy about this little gadget and we can’t wait to share it with you!
The Imaginisce iTOP button maker is such a wonderful stocking stuffer for you and your friends because the possiblities of what you can make with it are endless!

Not only can you embellish your quilts with beautiful custom buttons, you can also make tons of unique gifts like the one’s we are about to show you.

Flower Pin
This beautiful flower pin is the sweetest gift for a dear friend.
 Visit Helen Philips blog for more lovely gift ideas & inspiration.  

Adorable Bracelet
We spotted it on the Tip Junkie.
Visit their site for a free tutorial.
Just buy a charm pack or two and you will have plenty for every girl on your Christmas list.
They used the dritz covered button kit but it is so much easier now thanks to the iTOP!


"Cute as a Button" Earrings!
Soo cute, easy & inexpensive.
What a precious idea from the 30 Handmade Days blog!
Visit their blog to print this adorable card for free. 

Or download our Christmas version here!

Just print it on card stock, add your earrings & you have yourself a Christmas gift.

And here is an Earring Tutorial from the cheerful Casa de Lewis blog...
You can skip steps 1-5 on her tutorial and just whip up your buttons with the iTOP and then just hot glue them to your earring backs.
Too simple, huh?! 

Wow 'em with the Wine Bottle...
Isn't this a great way to spuce up that wine bottle you are taking to your friend's Christmas party?
How simple... Just make a pretty button (or two or three), cut out a few fabric leaves and a square of fabric/burlap and tie it all together with some raffia around your bottle. Just lovely.

And of course our favorite has got to be embellishing those beautiful quilts!
Bunny Hill is such a perfect example of how covered buttons can add that special touch to your quilt.
Their A Tisket A Tasket block of the month is absolutely darling with its little button embellishments.

 Here is a little video to see how easy the iTOP is...



Today we will be giving away an iTOP Button Maker & some Button Daddies!  
The winner will be announced tomorrow morning.

Oh Santa I would love to have one of these show up in my stocking so I could gift it to my daughter. You see Santa we made cute bulletin boards for the grandkids' teachers last year and the kids had a hard time doing the button tacks. This year their new teachers are going to get them for Christmas but we need that tool desperately.

Julie said...

I have one whole store in this tiny podunk town that I live in where I can buy buttons. It's the big store that starts with a W. And they don't have the greatest selection. So I'm always on the hunt for good buttons for my bags, clothes, etc. This would make my life SO much easier! I really hope Santa puts one in my stocking this year!

Rachelle said...

I really love fabric covered buttons, but the kits you get here are really hard to work. This would be so much better!

I need this in stocking cause i have lots of flowers to make and it would be faster! :)
