Aren't they fun!!! There's no longer any excuse for not having exactly the right color, shape or size button for that craft project. I used what I had on hand to give these a try, but I can't wait to try and make shaped buttons using those tiny, little cookie cutters you get:-) Imagine how much fun they'd be to use on handmade cards or on a scrapbook layout. They bake up really hard (we even tried the dropping them from a height onto a slate floor .... they didn't even chip!!!)
These are being mailed off, as part of a package I'm sending to someone, so I wanted to display them nicely - I have a thing about presentation ... it comes from my Dad:-) So, I doubled a piece of cardstock and with a yarn needle poked holes in the card and tied each button on with a length of yarn - easy!!! I'll pop it in a cellophane bag, and attach a pretty bag topper.
This project is so easy, and would be a great one for kids to help with - you'd just have to help them with conditioning the clay and baking the buttons.
So dig out that polymer clay, and give it a go - you'll be delighted with the results!!!
Wow! Great idea! By the way you always do a great job with presentation. Your packages are always beautifully packed and wrapped!
ReplyDeleteHi Kerry, I always love coming here. You make me smile. I love your pincushions. I just put up my fall decorations and posted it. I linked back to your blog because of my darling tassels that you sent me last year. Check it out friend!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea....just the other day I was searching for a unique button....now I have no excuse. This is on my to do list for sure!
