I love the look of resin buttons but a lot of times, I want to make some that will fit with my projects and layouts. I came up with a really simple way to make your own buttons using some basic Maya Road supplies. This is a project you can do in 10 mins (and then wait overnight for them to dry)
Here is what you will need:
1. Maya Road Microchip Buttons (I used the neutral ones here and you can also use our new mini ones with a bit of mist to get the color you want)
2. Stamps of choice (I used our bingo one and a hot air balloon one I had)
3. Maya Road 1" Pigment Ink Pad (I used black)
4. Glossy Accents or some other clear coat
Start by stamping onto your button the stamp image of your choice and allow it to dry (here I did the hot air balloon one and the bingo card one)
Next apply glossy accents or another type of clear coat on the buttons and allow to dry - this is the hardest part but be patient! It will be well worth the wait!
Now enjoy your resin button accent!
Thanks for the tip and the tutorial! I have ordered some chipboard and thy're on their way! Now I can't wait anymore for them to get here ;)
