Easter color preview with buttons

I'm sure that this post seems a little premature, but Easter is only two months away. Can you believe that? I don't make Easter themed jewelry (although I have plenty of pieces in my shop that are appropriate for it), but I am always trying to stay ahead of the holidays for HubPages articles. If you do make holiday jewelry or other items, it's not too early to start working on new designs! I took this series of photos for an article and thought that my readers here would get inspiration from them as well.

mix up your designs with shape buttons

keep the color palette bright

classic

mix it up with tiny buttons

add cabochons and other embellishments to your designs

create variety by incorporating metal and/or wooden buttons

What color combinations remind you of Easter? What are you creating for Easter this year?

  3. I love all your buttons, Rose! I love the little rose and heart ones. So cute! Since my Peridot line is mainly pastels they'd fit right in the Easter theme :)

  5. Those all scream spring to me and I love it! I have bunnies that I need to get made into things so I'm ready for Easter but yet I still haven't made what I wanted to for Christmas so I'm way behind. :)

  7. On a day that we have a winter storm warning, these pretty colors lift my spirits. When it comes to Easter, I prefer the softer shades in your "Classic" photo.

  8. Oh, goodness. I don't even know when Easter is this year! I am just trying to get finished with January right now! Once I get through this month, maybe I'll remember to look forward to Easter.

    Cool pictures - I like the colors and you have such a beautiful pure white background.

  14. Oh, I love those tiny buttons...I also love the resin rose cabochons...and the mum ones are pretty too. I recently checked around and I was pleasantly surprised that they are fairly inexpensive. I'm gonna have to get some. Beautiful photos! Thank you for sharing :)
