Buttons and balloons

Have you looked at You-tube or Pintrest. You may find demos there

Thanks Nina, I had to come out of Pinterest because they absolutely bombarded me with multiple ads every time I looked for something simple. The instructions I have found are illustrated and easy to follow. I just wondered if anyone here had actually tried to make one of these and if there are any hints or tips. Thanks for trying to help.

Lots of instruction videos online. The key is glue, glue and more glue - which has to be the kind which dries clear. It's messy and it can be tricky peeling the popped balloon away from the initial thick layer of glue you apply and let dry to make the base of the bowl. I believe there is a kind of glue you can buy which minimises this problem but I don't know the brand name.

Most people go for a random look - all colours and sizes of buttons but some lovely effects can be created with a more planned colour scheme using basic fisheye buttons.

Lots of other ideas online for button art. I like these button trees:

Wow thanks Oakleaf. I'm going to give at least one of these a go over the Christmas holidays.
