How to: make your own buttons

makeyourownbuttons.jpgButtons are all kinds of fabulous. There really isn't any piece of clothing that can't be improved without buttons. Or a person for that matter. Even the button-eyed 'Other Mother' from Neil Gaiman's spooky Coraline had a bit of stylishness about her.

But you can't always get your crafty mitts on the perfect button for your project sadly. But you're a crafty lot, obviously, so why not make your own?

Craftystylish's Linda Permann offers a very simple step-by-step tutorial on how to make polymer clay buttons of your very own. In a flurry of cotton reels, rolling pins and toothpicks you can go from the buttonless to being a virtual pearly queen of your own making.

See the full how to here and start fabricating your own fastenings.
