Idea and instructions by Anna-Carin Betzén
Supplies
Buttons
(Plaster for casting and clay for making the mold)
Sandpaper
White paint
(Fine drill)
Look through your buttons to find 10 to 12 mm (3/8" to 1/2") buttons with a nice raised pattern (metal or metal look buttons often have the best designs).
Cut off the shank, or cast a plaster replica of the button and use that instead.
Sand the back flat and level. If you plan to suspend a chandelier from it, drill a hole in the center. Paint the medallion white and glue it to the ceiling.
