    1- cut the avocado pit when fresh, it's easier. even drilling the holes and the peeling of the skin is easier. then let dry.
    2- put the sanding paper around a flat object, like a cooking spatula. then move the button, not the sandpaper. much easier.
    handymen cut a rectangle that fit in their hand from a wooden plank, then roll the sandpaper around it. you can move the wood around big pieces you need to sand, or fix it and sand little pieces on it.
    loved the video. thanks!

      I came across you in my feed today and subscribed. I loved watching, especially when you shared your process and pushing through the mistakes.
      I loved the tips that your viewer offered above, as well. In both cases, I felt like I was in your studio watching and participating, in my mind for today. And in my actions on a day yet to come. 😂

      @@margitwes6495 avocado pits=pink. Pomegranate rind= yellow. You may need a mordant. Alum is one. If you have one of those deodorant crystals, they work. Soak the cloth in the mordant first. A rusty nail is another, but I think it dyes the cloth more blue.

    Thank you for sharing an amazing awesome experience. Thank you for sharing the mistakes too, it was a great learning experience for us all. My question is how to preserve them, such as do you seal them with a clear sealant possibility, because you have to wash the garment and I'm just curious how the buttons will hold up getting wet from washing and as they continue to age/dry on the garment will they hold up or crack over time without some type of preservative step added. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions please let us know. Thank you again for your awesome idea and video.

      @ThePrairieChronicles 8 місяців тому +3

      @@elinsDIY As I recall the drying time varied greatly on the type of potato. There was significant shrinkage and wrinkling, depending on the type of potato. And the beads were generally brittle, though held up fairly well after several coats of clear varnish or acrylic paint (once potatoes were dry). Holes for beads and buttons closed up fast unless there was a metal skewer remaining in the hole throughout the drying time (thick wire or potato baking skewers, though plastic might work - I never tried plastic), but the skewer had to be gently turned each day or the potato hole would "heal" glue itself to the skewer. I cut the beads small, usually into rectangles, but I cut the buttons thicker, and used a circular metal mini cookie cutter. Drying time for buttons was much longer.
      It was a lot of fussy trial and error, but it was interesting. Especially when people marvelled at necklaces made of potato beads. I also made beads by mixing unsweetened applesauce and cinnamon until stiff enough to form into beads. I finished them after they dried with clear crafts varnish.

    After watching really very crunchy's video on avocado buttons I was legit wondering the process. I didn't think it still needed to be green, but that makes sense with how you showed it. Thanks

    What a fun project! Every year I give my two sisters a little Christmas box full of things I've sewn or made from repurposed and thrifted fabric and materials along with one or two low cost fun things like a hanky or a fan or chopsticks. I wonder if these would pick up dye from vegetables like red cabbage or flower petals if you soaked them right after cutting. I'm going to try it. Thank you, Elin.

    it's a good idea to drill a small pilot hole first! if you use the large bit right away, you're putting a lot more stress on your material and it can split - use a smaller bit first and work your way up, gradually expanding the hole to minimize this.
    cool idea, next time i buy avocados i'll have to try this! i enjoy how they look like little pig snouts. it's really cute 🐽🐽🐽

    I made my first before watching this vedio, and really was happy to see the same idea. My seed fell and bloke in have along the natural split, so i cut mine narrow and long like an oval shape but i relly like them, i will also be using them in a knitted t-shirt. Want to test with other seeds too❤👍🏻

    • @elinsDIY
      @elinsDIY  8 місяців тому
