Recycling buttons into playdough stamps
If like us you've an overflowing pot of spare fasten-upperers eagerly
awaiting a fresh new purpose this idea might be just the thing! Upcycle your
odds, finds, donations and specific buys into impressive impression makers!
Plastic, metal and wood all work really well and for buttons that have a shank/back
loop use a knife to create a slot in the top of your cork, press the shank in firmly and check how
flush the fit is before gluing the button securely in place. Collect themed
button sets and turn them into design tools that help children celebrate
a time of year or maybe an event, exploring how 'positive' buttons make
negative moulds, mirror images or a reverse reflection of themselves in the
surface of playdough.
