Buttons make a delightful accent idea for baby-themed pages or pages with a rustic look. Here, Michele Gerbrandt shares this idea -- adding button accents without sewing -- while on location in Dallas, Texas! Materials: Buttons
2 coordinating colored papers to match the buttons (one light, one dark)
Thread
Glue dots
1-1/4" square punch
1" square punch
Pen
Scissors
- Punch a 1-1/4" square from the darker paper, then punch a 1" square from the lighter paper.
- Adhere the lighter square on top of the darker square.
- Use pen to draw "stitch" marks around the outside edge of the lighter square (figure A).
- Pull thread through the button from the back side to the front.
- Tie off thread in a double-knot and cut thread (figure B) with scissors -- leaving a short piece as a "bow" on the button front.
- Adhere the button to the layered paper squares using a glue dot. (For easy application, touch the back of the button to a glue dot and then lift the glue dot from the strip.)
- After adhering the button, anchor the button and squares to the page as desired.
