Glitter Buttons add Sparkle to a plain T-shirt

Add colored glitter glue to clear buttons for an embellishment that sparkles!

Making your own Glitter Buttons is an easy DIY project that you can complete with the kids in a weekend.

My Niece and I had purchased the t-shirt first at Target (because it matched a skirt she just had to have!) then we wanted to embellish it, but could not find anything that matched the peachy-coral color perfectly.
Clear Buttons to the rescue!  I selected two packages of Clear Finish, Clear Round Buttons for this project and then added a layer of Stickels Glitter Glue by Rangerin Orange Peel on top.  We let the buttons dry overnight, then glued them (glitter side down) around the collar and sleeves of the t-shirt with Gem-Tac embellishing glue from Beacon in a random pattern.  Let the buttons dry for several hours and you are ready to wear!
My Niece told me that Glitter Buttons would also make a great embellishments for Headbands, Notebooks and Sneakers – try this technique over the weekend with your kids and see what they come up with – you will be impressed by their creativity!
