I absolutely love the look of Billy Buttons, so I decided to make some to use as decoration at the shower. They're super adorable and fit in perfectly with the yellow, grey and white theme I'm planning.
A while back I found this tutorial and saved it to pinterest. It really is a great tutorial, so easy to follow. And she even has a follow up post with some trouble shooting ideas.
My first one took me about half an hour - I made it way too small and spent ages slowly adding more felt to it. After that though it only took me about an hour to make all twelve.
Here's how they turned out...
I've also been working on another couple of cute things for the shower. I'll share them soon!
Wow! I've never seen those before. How cute! I love that, I'll have to share this with one of my friends who is having a baby shower in December!
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks for linking up to my tutorial. I am so excited to see people giving my billy button project a shot. And yours turned out absolutely beautifully!! Unless you object, I'd love to post your after photos on my blog.
