 Need a quick Birthday gift ? Follow along ... 

Supplies:
• Buttons ( no shank the best)

Separate your buttons out. You will be stacking your buttons by size and types. The biggest flat button will be glued to the magnet and will be the base. Next sizes button glued on and so on. The top is great for gems or specialty buttons.

You can use regular sewing buttons to make this. If your buttons have shank remove with pliers or tool.
