So as you all probably know by now I love buttons. I made this letter S a few years ago and I still love it. Buttons are so much fun to go through and sort and reminisce about. I think they are one of my favorite crafting item.
So I made another craft with buttons. This time I made button magnets.
In addition to the crafting I decided to reopen my Etsy store and sell some of the things I make here on this blog. Stop by and check it out: TakeTimeToCreate.
Here is how you can make your own button magnets
Materials:
~ Buttons (so many buttons!!! And this is only a small portion of what my mom gave me! She is the best!)
~ Magnets
~ Glue (I am using my trusty E-6000)
~ Clippers or something to cut the shank off
Instructions
~ prep the buttons. You might need to clean them a bit or snip off the shank. Be careful because pieces of plastic might go flying.
~ Stack the buttons to create a different looks. Glue the stacks as necessary.
~ Glue the back of the button and add the magnet
~ Wait for them to dry and then put them up on your fridge. You can see I use them to hold pictures of Cole. I love his monster and dino magnets he made when he was little. So cute! Sigh he is not so little anymore.
Stay tuned for DIYs on how I made the little canvas magnets and the bottle glass magnets.
Here are some of the completed magnet sets that I have on Etsy just to give you an idea of what you can do with magnets and buttons. These make great house warming gifts!
Please friends, buy some of the magnets, otherwise I can already tell… Linda and I will be overrun by them. π
