If you have purchased handmade tree branch buttons from A Remark You Made, just consider a few simple tips to ensure your buttons will last a long time.
Washing An Item Embellished with Tree Branch Buttons
Washing is best done by hand using a mild detergent in cold water. Do not leave buttons submerged in standing water for an extended period of time.
Drying An Item Embellished with Tree Branch Buttons
Line drying is preferred, or lay the article flat. I do not recommend a dryer. However, if it is necessary, use a no heat setting.
Tips
Do not place buttons in direct sunlight or expose to high temperatures for an extended amount of time. Buttons are best stored in a cool, dry place.
Ideas
Want your buttons to remain in great shape? Try this! Instead of sewing the button directly to the article of clothing, sew a strand of hemp twine or yarn to the garment where you want to place the buttons. Slide each end of the twine or yarn through the button holes and tie a bow. A fun look and practical way to preserve your tree branch buttons for a lifetime!

ReplyDeleteI am also glad to read that you enjoyed the "Gather Around the Harvest Table" post, and even made a purchase from one of the sellers I featured. I also own one of the cutting boards. I love mine. Did you purchase the one I featured? I really had trouble choosing just one. I want them all :)
