I saw this idea in a shop in Newburyport, MA and thought...
What a great idea!
Nobody takes a second look at the buttons in my shop, maybe now, they will!
I have all this great royalty free clip-art on my computer,
I'm sure The Graphics Fairy has a lot to chose from too!
I made all the images about 3 x 5, some smaller, but all 3" wide.
I printed as many as I could get on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of white card stock.
I cut them all to size using a cutting mat, exacto knife and metal ruler.
I then cut out pieces of cardboard from a box I had in my recycling bin, using pinking shears. I then glued the card board onto all the backs of the cards for extra support using a glue stick.
I chose buttons for each card,
depending on their shape and color.

This was a perfect match!
How adorable!
I sewed the buttons on from the back,
(you only see the thread on the back)
first using a small hole puncher to make life easier.
What do you think?
Now linking to:
They look amazing! What a great idea. If I were there I'd buy LOADS of those buttons :-)
ReplyDeleteThey look so professional! And so irresistible! I can't wait to see them in person.
ReplyDeleteYour buttons look great and I agree I think they are realy going to get noticed with these great vintage cards. Thanks for stopping by In His Grip.
