This month’s giveaway is another Etsy seller who, when seeing her products, we just had to ask if she’d partner with us. We were delighted when she said yes! Like last month there is the opportunity for 2 winners, Robin has been kind enough to giveaway 2 sets of her handmade resin buttons!!
A transplanted ‘country girl’, Buttons By Robin grew organically through various crafts Robin found herself drawn to. From painting to jewelry making, she found herself always going back to making buttons. Much like any passionate crafter she was drawn to the need to create and experiment, and it was through experimentation that she found a way to create handmade resin buttons that were durable and most importantly washable. With the popularity of her buttons, Robin has begun to work with other Etsy sellers and graphic designers, giving them the opportunity to reach a wider audience by using their images on her buttons.
2 Random Winners receive:
1 set of 6 resin buttons (small size) in the design of their choosing

I would make something featuring the monkey buttons but the buttons would be the focus of my work, not the garment. I would go for a yoke front and back short sleeve shirt. I would insert piping to pick up a color from the bottons for a little coordination but the focus would be the great buttons. I would have buttons at center front any maybe the collar and some sleeve tabs.
I would definitely knit a childs cardigan with these gorgeous buttons…count me in…rose
How adorable! Thanks for the introduction to Robin!
I was just in the craft store today looking for cute buttons – I would like to make little crocheted pocket purses, with button closures. Couldn’t find buttons cute enough to make the little purses pop. I especially like the Robin’s flower buttons.
I might be inspired to try my first child’s simple (!) sweater….though I have seen some socks decorated with buttons. (I’m on a sock knitting crazy…)
Those are soooooooo cute! I think the easter buttons would be adorable on a crocheted little easter jacket for my two year old daughter!
I would use the buttons in flowers that I make for the chemo caps I crochet for our local treatment centers.
I adore the small birds buttons — love the background blue — and can imagine knitting a wraparound scarf/cowl using these beauties.
i would use these buttons for my son’s stripey sweater !! thank you!
Well…. the small gnome buttons would be perfect on a knitted red hooded cape for my Charlotte and the little rabbit buttons would be precious on a little pink knitted sweater for my Annabel!
we have a new great grandson. I would like to make him something and use these pretty buttons. thanks
Oooh, I love the little bird ones. So cute! They have such a great springy feeling to them, I’d love to use them in a lacy crochet top, either a tank top or a light tunic, maybe in a soft pink or tan.
Im in love with the rabbit buttons. I’d make some cute arm warmers and add them to the sides!
Love the bird shaped buttons and they’d look so cute on a flower on a cloche hat.
Mercy me, love all of them! Have to knit a project that will use them!Great work Robin, you rock!
