Button Magnets!!!

I made button magnets with my daughters last week.  It was a fun and quick project.


What do you think of them?  Pretty cute, right?

Supplies:
- Buttons
- Embroidery Thread
- Magnets
- Needle
- Glue gun
 
Step #1:
Take out your supplies.
 
 
Step #2:
Thread your needle and ''sew'' it on to your top button and make a knot in the back.


Step #3:
Take out your glue gun and glue the top button onto your bottom button.
 

 
Step #4:
Glue a magnet onto the back of your big button.
 

 And you are done!!  Pretty simple right?


 Have a GREAT day!!

 
P.S.  I'll be linking this project to these Parties.

Super cute idea! I buy buttons by the bagfuls for my crayon rolls, but I haven't found a use for some of the sizes. Now I know what to do with them! Thanks for sharing:)

Hi Christine!

I love these button magnets. They are pinned to my DIY presents board. I have a cousin getting their first apartment and this will be so cute for her.

We're having our inaugural Eat Make Grow Blog Hop. We are looking for folks to link up who want to share what they have been eating with their families, growing in their gardens or making with all their creative impulses. If you're interested, I hope you'll hop on over and link up a couple of your posts. It's a way for you to grow your readership and find other like minded mamas.

Hope to see you there,

Foy
