I posted this card from my Be a Big Shot at Home Class Series a few weeks ago and have received quite a few inquiries as to how I did the paper button.
It is a very simple process and here is a tutorial showing you those steps.
First, you need to punch out four 1" circles then two more using your 3/4" circle punch. Turn these last two punchouts into rings by then sliding the 1" circle over the hole created by the 3/4" circle and punching.
Glue the four solid circles together making sure the edges are lined up. Punch two holes in your stack with your Crop-a-Dile. You can make a template by placing your Eyelet setting mat from the Mat Pack on a scrap piece of paper and coloring in two adjacent holes. Punch these out with your Crop-a-Dile and then with the 1" Circle to create a template. Keep this for future use. Lay your template on your circle stack and punch your holes with the Crop-a-Dile. Now add your two rings to the top. Thread some of our new Baker's Twine through the holes and tie in a bow to complete your paper button.
Looking to shine up your button, cover it with Crystal Effects prior to adding your twine and let it dry. I dry mine overnight.

Awesome idea on making the paper buttons – sometimes I don’t like using buttons because they pop up so much. Great alternative, plus, you can make ’em any color you want!
It’s so nice to have you do all of the research for us. It makes our decision making so much easier!! Thanks.
