Monika was wondering about the button mold process for polymer clay, from my previous post, so I thought I'd take a moment t explain. I bought the putty from Michael's for around $20 I think. It made all these molds with lots left over. It's as easy as could be and the molds come out very flexible, like rubber. Place the polymer button material into the mold, pop out, and bake. I buffed the finished button with my denim jeans. I have made several batches of polymer clay buttons over the years because I couldn't find the right color for my projects.

Thank you so much for this info! Are the button holes large enough?
