I use a lot of buttons for my projects,but here buttons can be a little expensive and its hard to find them in bright colors.So I decided to make my own! :)
Special thanks to Dessah for the awesome button box and buttons! :)

You will need:
-polymer clay
-buttons of all shapes and sizes
-something to shape the buttons-I used a plastic spool from an embroidery floss
2
Roll out a piece of clay and cut a circle from it with the spool.
3
You will need to shape the edges a bit to get rid of the cutting.
4
Get your favorite shaped button and press it in to the clay.
5
You will see the little dots in the middle from the holes.
6
With help of a needle or a crochet hook make the button holes.

If you use a button with a pretty pattern you can make your buttons even more realistic.Now just bake them according to the instructions on the clay.
