I cut wood, not cheese

Ever wonder where those darling buttons on my bags come from?? I’ll tell you where! My father’s cherry tree trimmings and some sexy arm power

Last week, I headed down to my California neck of the woods – San Jose, baby. While visiting the folks, beer-ing with friends, soaking up a healthy dose of natural vitamin D, I squeezed in some time to make me some buttons!

I highly recommend everyone making their own – great way to use up those branches you have laying around And who doesn’t like getting down with a saw and a power tool?!

Step 1: Slice up some branches in whatever size or thickness you desire. I especially love the buttons with gnarly knots in them.

Step 2: Band-aid up the fresh blisters you just got on your hands I wish there was something like a cheese slicer for wood…

Step 3: Vice and drill!

Step 4: Sit back and smile at how adorable the buttons came out!
