Pottery Buttons
Making pottery buttons is a project that you can do at home and see the results within 3 to 4 hours.You will need some low firing clay which you can get from a hobby shop or online. I have used clay that can be fired at 110 degrees. This means that it can be fired in a standard oven. In learning how to make pottery we are going to make four buttons. Main colour is blue with a white pattern. You can select which colours that you want to do, just replace them with my colours.
|
Take a ball of blue clay and shape it with your hand in to a disk the size of the button that you want to make. Repeat this task 4 times until you have 4 disks which are similar in size.
|
|
Take a very small amount of the white clay and roll into a small coil. Place on the button and press gently, not to change the shape of the button.
Repeat this four times for each button
|
|
Take each button and pierce two holes in the centre which will be used to attach the button to a garment or item. I have done this using a large sowing needle.

The buttons are now ready to fire.
Read the instructions for your clay. Mine requires firing at 100 degrees for 30 minutes.
