Instructions

  1. Small sdc15413 2 1290097096

    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. Small sdc15414 3 1290097150

    Roll out a piece of clay and cut a circle from it with the spool.

  3. Small sdc15415 4 1290097182

    You will need to shape the edges a bit to get rid of the cutting.

  4. Small sdc15416 5 1290097212

    Get your favorite shaped button and press it in to the clay.

  5. Small sdc15417 7 1290097250

    You will see the little dots in the middle from the holes.

  6. Small sdc15418 8 1290097276

    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.
