Pointer: Nursery Rhymes decoupaged on the buttons would be adorable
for that new baby’s nursery!
Steps:
To begin: Drill 2 holes in each disc like a button.
1. If desired, base coat “button” with paint. Let dry.
2. Cut out design from paper to fit.
3. Brush decoupage glue onto “button” where cut out will be
placed.
4. Place paper over decoupage glue.
5. Brush decoupage glue over paper, sealing all edges.
6. Push out any bubbles with fingers, from the center out to the edges.
7. Punch through button holes and paper with upholstery needle. Sew front and back buttons onto pillow with ribbon
using upholstery needle. |
