Crafty mamas sew ABC buttons on kid clothes

You know those little labels or stamps with your kid's name that attach to jackets, bags or anything else that can be lost at school (or daycare or camp)? They're usually sweet or simple, right?

But ABC buttons? Cute to the nines.

Craftzine says some nine-hole buttons and, bright thread and a little initial-imagination all you need to create crafty label genius. No expert sewing skills necessary, just the ability to, well, sew a button. Takes less than five minutes total, even for an inexperienced needle and thread gal like me.

I am not suggesting for a second that you sew buttons with initials on every article of your child's clothing, no-sir-e-mama. That type of crazy-making is best reserved for expecting mamas in their nesting stage (I speak from experience...I sewed an entire quilt border the day before my second baby was born.)

ABC Buttons would be cute on those special clothing items that might benefit from a little extra love, like that jacket your son won't wear because it's blue instead of green. Quick fix? Green ABC buttons.
