Send a Bouquet of Roses with Hand-Dyed Valentine Buttons!

Looking for a last minute Valentine’s Day gift idea for someone you care about? Dye up a big batch of white buttons in Cherry Red dye and fill a fancy jar or vase. This is really fun and takes literally just a few minutes!  The buttons add a colorful element of surprise and double as flower frogs to help keep the roses standing tall.  Plus, if you dye a lot of buttons, you can fill up a gift tin and give that along with the roses.  Button-filled gift tins also make fun table favors.

Just remember when dyeing buttons, they must be made of nylon.  Rit is one of the few dyes that will color nylon, but polyester buttons cannot be dyed with Rit.  Crafters especially like to dye buttons and turn them into jewelry, party favors and wedding decorations.  Click here for the easy tutorial for dyeing buttons.
