Sewing Tuesday: Button Greetings Card

I've been getting in to making greetings cards, have a look at this one I made using buttons!

 Want to try making one?

You will need:

• Blank card and envelope,
• About 2 buttons,
• Pencil,
• Needle and thread,
• A square of card that fits on to the front of the blank card,
• Glue.

Step 1.

• Draw on to the square of card the number or shape of your choice, I'm doing a number  but you could do a heart or anything you like.

• Spread a line of glue along your pencil line.

Step 2.

• Place the buttons along the glue line. It's nice to mix large and small buttons.

• Wait for the glue to dry then sew the buttons on using contrasting thread.

• You can poke the sewing holes in from the front to make sewing easier when you are coming up from the back with your needle.

Step 3.

• When all of the buttons are sewn on, sew the square card to the front of your blank card using running stitch or your machine.

All done! I might make a heart shaped one next with pink buttons. :)
Happy sewing!
Holly.
