Have you ever finished a project and just couldn't find the right buttons? It happens more than I would like to admit. I started to collect buttons as I found things that I like so that I would have a stash to pick from. That still hasn't solved all of my problems! Katelyn told me about making polymer clay buttons that would match back to the pattern that I just finished. So what else was there to do? I put her on the job to teach us how to make them for ourself.
