It's Thursday so it's time for another tutorial! :)
Today I'll tell you about a very easy way of making some handmade buttons from clay!
It's very simple...
soften some clay (I used Fimo), roll a small portion and flatten with your finger. Stamp into it to get some texture and make two holes. Carefully peel it and put on a baking tray. Bake as per manufacturers instruction.
I've made this card using some paper thread and handmade buttons.
I'd like to enter the following challenges:
Black, White + One More Colour @
Cold and Frosty @
Background Stamping @

Okay I love these and the words stamped into them, fabulous! I have got to try this technique. Just wanted to say Congratulations for winning the blog candy from Crafts International!
Have fun! Clay is so versatile and using buttons you've made yourself is so much fun! I made loads of buttons in different colours at one go and now if I need any I have a stash. :)
And YEAH! I've won the candy! :)
