Remember the Easter Carrot Treat Holder I posted earlier this month?  Many of you wanted to know how to make a Button Slide Enclosure.  So, here you go.  I’ll post the highlights here.  You’ll find a link for the PDF with step-by-step instructions toward the bottom of this post.

These instructions are only for the Button Slide and assume you already have a project started.

Supplies:

• Large Button, quantity 1 (large holes work the best).  If you plan on decorating with extra ribbon, make sure your button has 4 holes.
• 12″ to 15″ Decorative Ribbon
• Circle punch from Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack (#118309) or standard 1-hole Office Punch. Find them in the office supply aisle of most stores.

1)  Punch a hole in opposite flaps of your project.

Step 1

2)  Thread ribbon through both holes as shown.

Step 2

3)  Tie an overhand knot with the ribbon ends.

Step 3

4) Make sure the button slides up and down freely.

Step 4

And there you have it, a quick and easy Button Slide Enclosure.
