These are smart, and cute.

i beleive sculpty has the same properties as femo,…

earlyer this year i was tired of buying buttons, since by the time i made the outfit i wanted a differnt colour and already paid an arm and a leg for the ones i bought, so i made my own 4 and 2 whole buttons out of femo. baked them, and used them on my nephews pj’s (he is 5) they lasted perhaps a month, then they swere breaking and falling off.

i am going to try again by putting wire in the butten to give it more stregnth to see if that helps. but the 9 whole idea is still great!

This is wonderful and I know my kids are going to love making these with me!

The only Sculpey’s available to me around here are Original and Ultra-Light. Would either work? Or should I wait to find Premo out of town somewhere?

Hi Billy-
Thanks so much for the link to abc-button.com! You’re right- they definitely deserve to be mentioned since they were the inspiration for this project.

It’s fair game to take a DIY inspiration from a designer’s idea. That said, the guys who had the original idea would surely appreciate a link: http://www.abc-button.com/
BTW: you can find a stich diagram there, too.
