Extra thick embossing powder is the secret to these button covers. But the same technique can be used to create pins, earrings and other jewelry
Using the black ink pad, stamp the Looney Tunes©
characters of your choice in the middle of the large piece of matte
white card stock. Once the ink is dry, color in the characters. Cover the stamped images with a thin layer of embossing ink While the embossing ink is still wet, place the card stock on a flat
surface, cover it with a layer of embossing powder and heat it until it
melts. Then, while the powder is still melted, apply another layer of
powder and melt it, too. There is no need to apply an additional layer
of embossing ink-the powder will stick to the original layer of melted
powder. Repeat this process at least three more times. Leave the card
stock on the flat surface until the powder is cool. If you pick it up
while the powder is in liquid form, the card stock will warp. Cut the images out and glue them onto the button cover backs. Enjoy wearing your snazzy new button covers but don't throw
them in the wash-the card stock is still partially exposed on the back
and we all know what happens to a piece of paper when you wash it!
