Buttons are a fun way to add dimension and color to your projects. Here are some simple, easy ways to dress up your buttons to add even more pizzazz to your pages.

1. Thread with embroidery floss or twine. Using the thicker strands gives even more dimension.

2. Tie a bow or knot on top of the button. This adds a playful element.

3. Place a gem or some bling in the center of your button.

4. Adhere a punch-out circle or die cut to your button, giving it a bit of design.

5.   Some other fun ideas: place rub-ons on the top of your button; stamp on your buttons (with a water-solvent ink); write on your button or add dots with a permanent marker (i.e. sharpie).

Have fun dressing up your buttons!
