Using buttons on your scrapbook pages

Buttons can be added to pop up windows for effect or to educational scrapbooks as a learning device. Adding buttons to a scrapbook page can as simple as adding a ready-made button. However, you can also create customized buttons that match your background or general color scheme.

Bazzill paper is great for this purpose. Simply wrap a ready-made button with the paper. These buttons can then be glued or tied onto your scrapbook page with thread or embroidery cotton.

You can make your own special buttons with Fimo (of buy them ready-made from specialist suppliers or on Ebay).

If you want to use a shanked button on your page but don't want the shank, you can usually snip it off with a strong pair or scissors or a junior hacksaw.
