Button Cookies

What is it about buttons? Somehow, they just make everything look so gosh-darn cute!

 These are super simple to make:

1. Just add some food coloring to your favorite sugar cookie dough
2. Cut with a circle cutter (I think mine is 1 3/4" - 2" diameter)
3. Poke holes with a toothpick (make them a little bigger than you'd think they should be)
4. Use a smaller circle cutter to mark an inner circle (optional)
5. Bake
6. Then use bakers twine to sew them to card stock printed to look like vintage button cards. You can download a pdf of mine here.

Here's a couple of other fun "button" supplies and ideas:
