Follow-along Friday: Button book

July 16 @ 12:00 pm 1:00 pm

Gather your supplies and follow along with us as we make a cute-as-a-button miniature book, using two buttons for covers and materials on-hand at home. The small class size allows for individual attention, so sign up early before it fills up! This workshop is best-suited for participants 13 years of age and older.

Materials you’ll want to gather ahead of time:

  • Buttons, x2 the same size (larger is better) flat without a shank. Anything you have two of that’s flat & round will work though, wooden nickels, clock faces, etc.
  • Ribbon, narrow (1/8”-¼”) and 24” long.
  • Paper for pages, heavy weight text or cardstock. It can be all the same, or you can use a decorative paper for the half that will be the “front” and a plain paper for the half that will be the “back” side of the pages. 
  • Glue for pages: PVA, white glue, or glue stick
  • Glue for button covers: a heavy duty glue like E6000 or Gorilla Glue
