Happy Monday to you! I hope you all had a FANTASTIC weekend! I sure did! Cottage on Saturday, downline potluck lunch on Sunday...and club tonight! Can it get any better!
I am SUPER excited to share today's project with you! I am recently OBSESSED with paper buttons! I have made about 50 in the last little while and was waiting to share this project and video with you until I share some presents at my downline meeting yesterday! So, now I can show you!
First, a few of you asked the other day how I got the wire on the back of my flowers so let me "deal" with that one. I put a brad on the back of the flower with the ends poking through the flower layers (the backs are hidden behind the buttons) and then I just wrapped the wire around the brad and voila....a secured flower:)
Check out my video on how to make these paper buttons. Below I have included the supply list to make the buttons (if you have questions about the other supplies don't hesitate to ask:)
- 1 3/8 inch circle punch 119860
- crop-o-dile 108362
- Snail adhesive 104332
- In Colour Designer Series Paper 122384
- Crystal Effects 101055
- White Baker's Twine 124262
- Big Shot 113439
- Flower Fun Big Shot Die 121812
I hope you like today's fun little project! Have yourself a WONDERFUL day and start to another great week!
Take care,
Heather
What a great idea! I love using paper buttons - and here's a way to pop them up without using popups!

Thank you so much for showing how you make your buttons. I made one last night and it turned out perfectly. I think that I may have cut off a little too much of the tip for my crystal effects, but oh well, it worked anyway!!
