Decorating with wire and buttons

One of the most common sights in all craft shops is the thin and pliable craft wire which comes in a variety of colours. This wire can be manipulated by hand and cut with the normal scissors. My little project for the day involves three objects - a small basket, wooden buttons and craft wire.

    As you can see in the picture, the craft wire I am referring to is really pliable. Buttons have convenient holes through which the wire can be threaded just as you would, thread.                                                                

This little roughly woven basket is perfectly set off by the polished buttons, which I have threaded using ther craft wire, and then wound round the basket. When you are tired of it, just remove the wire and use the buttons elsewhere!
