That way I can get more done, well in theory anyway!
These have got to be the best, simple gadget I have come across in ages.
They are for making self-covered fabric buttons with.You know how most kits provide you with a little paper/cardboard circle template for you to trace onto fabric and cut around to make up a button, and how hard it is to make sure you have the image you want to appear positioned in the centre of the button.
Well guess no more!
Each of these templates is a different size for the different sized buttons.All you do is position it so the image you want centred on the button is shown in the centre circle.
Then trace around the outside of the template and cut and make up your button as usual.
So if you want a small chicken button, a larger red riding hood button or red with all her friends for a huge button for a big hair tie, then you can do it all without waste and, more importantly, frustration!
Super-friendly Kerrie at Jackobindi is the only Aussie distributor of these, and she has all the other stuff you need to make up hair ties, snap clips, bookmarks, magnets, push pins, shoe clips and heaps of other stuff.Seriously, just get yourself some, you'll be glad you did.
To check out what creative goodness others are working on head on over to Kirsty's.
She's seeing red today.
