I did a video tutorial on my blog showing how to make these fabric covered buttons, but...

I really don't need them for my clothing, so does anyone have any ideas how I can incorporate these into a quilt or handbag, or ?

Very good looking. I agree perfect on bow tucks or really any purse.

Thanks for the ideas. I've never made a bow tuck or purse but I might just have to try one!

I have had the kit for about 4 or 5 years and was thinking I would probably never use it. I will now thanks to your tutorial. Are the painted turtles your own design? They are awesome.

The turtles are a pattern that the camp has licensed just for their use. So, no, not my own design. (I'm not quite that creative!)
