Colorful and fun, these button coasters protect your tables and cabinets while adding a little brightness to your rooms. A great use for all those buttons you’ve got lying around, these would make fantastic gifts from kids to family members.
Things you’ll need:
Buttons
Felt
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Scissors
Things to do:
1. Starting in the center, lay out the buttons in a circle or flower shape.
2. Once you are happy with the arrangement, glue the buttons down with a generous amount of glue under each.
3. Allow the glue to dry completely before cutting out the shape with your scissors.
This is such a good idea,I always have left over buttons.
Have you ever heard about a pattern Mr. and Mrs Santa Clause made out of Old Reader Digest Books. I would really like to get that pattern if I could, I have looked on line but they are not the same pattern that a neighbor of mine had quite a few years ago. She said that she does not have the Set or the Pattern any more. So cant help me out. We wondering if you or any of your blog members would be able to help me. I would be willing to pay for the pattern even if I could get it.
Hi Sharon! I did a little researching and found what you are looking for I think. There are two really great websites that have thorough instructions on how to create the Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus, along with a snowman as well. You find the first site here: allfreecrafts.com/christmas/paperback-Santa.shtml and the second one here: santalady.com/crafts/foldedmag/ I hope this is what you have been looking for, for so long!
