A few hours spent on the couch with a seam ripper and then a date with a steam iron turned them into these:

Making covered buttons is completely addicting! The instant gratification factor for this craft is pretty high. Even Maren helped me make some buttons, to which we added hair elastics to make pretties for her and her dollies.

I have several covered button crafts in my Craft Ideas & Instructions Pinboard: this bracelet, these cute paperclip bookmarks, and these adorable little thumbtacks. I already have bracelet blanks, ring blanks, hairpin blanks and thumbtacks--now I just need more covered button blanks! Time to do some Etsy shopping!
