Adding Buttons to Your Hats - Tutorial



Unfinished Wood Button

 Here's an idea! Paint some wood buttons to put on your crochet baby hats!

Here's a tutorial:

Buy some unfinished wood buttons from the craft store. This one below I bought from Joann's and the brand is Everything Mary. This one is approx. 2  1/2 inches in diameter.

Now buy some paint. I bought this metallic paint that would add an "antique" look to my button.



Now paint your buttons! Here is one unfinished wood and 2 painted with 2 different metallic acrylic paints.

Here's the finished product! All I did was thread my yarn, sewed my button to the hat, went back through the button holes one more time, back out the other side, cut my yarn and left a little "tied" look. This size is 6-12 months.  

Here's a picture of the same hat with an unfinished wood button. This size is 0-3 months and I did the threading a little different. Both of these hats are made with Nature's Choice Organic Cotton by Lion Brand.



Hope you Enjoy and can make some hats like this for your little one!

Blessings!
