accessory is pretty enough to wear almost everywhere. You will need Six small buttons
Glue One large button One very small button A pin backing and felt. Step 1. Arrange the
six matching buttons in a circle, flat side up, with the edges touching. Place a dot of
glue on each button nearest to the center of the circle. Hot glue or regular craft glue
won't work. Step 2. Affix the large button in the center of the circle, flat side down.
Place a dab of glue in the center of the large button. Use a contrasting color for the center
of shades of a single color. Step 3. Place the smallest button on the glue in the center
of the large button and let the glue dry for 24 hours. Step 4. Glue the pin backing onto
the center of the back of the button flower. Step 5. Glue a small, circular piece of felt
over the pin backing. Let it dry for a few hours and it'll be ready to wear. Did you
