Button pattern weights.

So easy to make

A couple of squares of Fimo clay, some zinc washers from B&Q and some string and glue. Took next to no time to make and now will be holding down my patterns while I cut especially for fabrics that don’t like pins.

Instructions

Divide each bar of the clay into eight then roll each into a ball. Squash this down onto the washer. Flatten as much as you want. Use a cocktail stick for the holes but snip the end flat before you use it. Cook as per Fimo instructions. When cool pull off the washers and thread through the string. Apply glue to the underside of the button then push the washer back on. When dry you’re done! Cost about £7.50 to make. 😘😘
