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
- Scrap paper for glueing on
- TOOLS: pencil & eraser, scissors, paste brush (if using PVA/white glue)
- OPTIONAL: a circle-punch the same diameter as your buttons. Otherwise we’ll be tracing and cutting w/ scissors.
- OPTIONAL: decoration for your pages. Suggestions: cut-out images, photos, rubber stamps, pen for drawing
