Tip of the week.........


This week’s tips are all about buttons….
I just love buttons and use them a lot on layouts, some tricks of the trade to share with you are -

*Great storage containers include: clear jars, fishing tackle boxes, bead containers, weekly pill containers and mini clear Ziploc bags.

*Sew the thread through your buttons before you glue them down. Saves having to struggle sewing through paper too.

*Swap buttons with other scrapper

*Check out op shops for jars of buttons

*Don’t throw away your buttons with the plastic attachment loop in the back of them. Just get some wire cutters and cut the loop off. You can then use glue or glue dots to adhere button to your page. It also makes your button flatter.

*Use a need threading tool to pull embroidery floss through hard to thread buttons.

* Recycle your not-so-pretty coloured buttons by painting them the colour of your choice.

*Add some rub-ons or stamps to the surface of your buttons for added whimsy.

*Use buttons for flower centers. They are cheaper than brads.

*Use the buttons that you have collected in your junk drawer from off of all those new clothes you buy.
