Buttons




I made these cute blue check buttons today. It was so simple and quick. I bought a pack of buttons and the mould (as seen in the before picture) on a whim really to see if it was really as easy as it looked, and it was. I used some fabric scraps left over from making cushion covers.
You cut out a rough circle, bigger than the size of the button, put the fabric over the mould, place the boutton on top, then push them into the mould, then push the button back on top. Easy peasy.
Once you have the basic button, you can stick on pins to make badges, magnets to make magnets, hair slides etc. I might one of these as a clasp on a bag I'm going to make.
