TOP TIP: Making your own embellishments can be cost saving and fun. So today I thought I would share how to make your own buttons.

Step 1: Punch or using a die cutting machine, cut some small circles. I have cut two the same size and one slightly larger.

Step 2: Using a Crop-o-dile or eyelet setting tool, punch small holes in the centre of the circles to resemble buttons.

Step 3: Completely cover the buttons in Dimensional Magic. Don't panic too much it the Dimensional Magic runs into the holes. These can be re punched CAREFULLY once they are completely dry.

Step 4: You are now ready to use your handmade buttons as embellishments for your cards and scrapbook layouts. You can cut any size circle you wish to make a bold statement or small for the more delicate projects. If you wish to have more dimension on your buttons, cut out more circles the same size as each other and layer them one on top of the other.

Making your own embellishments is also great if you don't have the 'real thing' in the correct colour to match your project.
