Tutorial – Paper Buttons

Islandfloralcard

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.

Ring 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.

Group 

Glue the four solid circles together making sure the edges are lined up.  Punch two holes in your stack with your Crop-a-Dile.  Buttonholes 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.  Buttonholes2 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. 

CE Looking to shine up your button, cover it with Crystal Effects prior to adding your twine and let it dry.  I dry mine overnight.

  1. 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!
