1. Do Not simply GLUE the brooch bar to the back of a plastic button / any button actually.
2. Cut a circle of felt that is a touch smaller than the perimeter of your button.
3. Sew the brooch bar onto that using strong thread. I always sew with embroidery thread.
4. Glue that to the back of the button - being careful not to let the glue seep through any holes in the button. I have layered / stacked these buttons for the Sailor Button Brooch.
5. i use this glue: http://lovepaperfish.com/userimages/procart22.htm
Because it dries clear and flexible AND you can the nozzle small for tiny projects.
6. Leave to dry for hours and hours and hours!! WEAR WITH PRIDE x
OMG. This entry is adorable. It gives me hope that DIY isn't too intimidating. Btw, Your blog is one out of 11 blogs I chose for the Liebster award. It's a cute way for bloggers with under 200 followers at the moment to get recognized and discover some great blogs as well. It kind of works like a chain letter/survey thing. Your blog along with the questions are tagged here: http://glampostsnooze.com/2013/02/21/tagged . I'm excited to read your answers!
