Hey Everyone!!
It's Eryn today....
Do you ever see a project and wonder...
HEY, I wonder how they did that???
Actually, I wonder that quite often! :)
Which is just ONE of the reasons why I LOVE Thursday's so much...
there is ALWAYS a new {ippity} tutorial for you on Thursday's.
Let's just call it a SPECIAL TREAT at the end of the
Thursday Unity/{ippity} Hip Hop Blog Hop...
Today I am going to show you how to create your own
FAUX BUTTONS!!
WARNING...
these are REALLY fun and REALLY easy...
{and the PERFECT way to add a coordinating touch to your project!!}
Here is what you will need...
1. a punch in whatever size & shape that you desire
2. cardstock
3. adhesive
4. a hole puncher {i used a crop-a-dile}
5. a marker or pen
6. glossy accents {optional}
Step 1:
Punch 6 of your desired button shape
Step 2:
glue them all together on top of one another
Step 3:
mark where you want to punch the "button" holes
Step 4:
punch the holes
Step 5:
apply glossy accents for a sweet dimensional shine...
let dry.
and
WAH LAH
Here they are IN ACTION....
I used the NEWEST {ippity} stamps sets:
Faith Blooms {sentiments}
A Moment in Time {cute little hearts}
