The Story Behind the Buttons
It all started in 2009 with a chronic illness that resulted in buttons saving my butt & mind. But it wasn’t until after my ileostomy pouch (bag outside my tummy) exploded in public in September 2011 where buttons saved my butt & mind that tilly’s button hut was born. That’s when I began making button bracelets because it was good therapy.
Each bracelet is handcrafted, antique or vintage, renewable and one of a kind. I use six strand Hungarian hemp, cord, and leather in a variety of colors. I offer sizes for children, teens and adults. Prices range from $5.00 - $10.00. I am now expanding into medal jewelry and medal art. For more on my story and art, go to my shelley prentice or tillys button hut facebook page. So, get your butt’on gear.
