Description:

Let's take our crafting down a notch and visit the small side of the world to make a little book with buttons!

You will be making one button book for one partner! Theme is sender's choice.

Here's how it works:

  • Find two buttons of similar size.
  • Using one of the buttons as a tracing tool you will make a paper chain. Place the button on a sheet of paper and trace. Continue lining the button up and tracing in a row so that circles are touching. Trace at least eight times.
  • Cut out the chain of circles, leaving the circles attached.
  • Fill the book however you like! Write a story, poem, illustrate, etc.
  • Glue buttons for the front and back covers of the book.
  • You have completed a button book!

Check out these mini books for inspiration: one, two, three, and four.

Special thanks to @marlove for the awesome idea
