Lalaloopsy Button Decor - How To

As part of our Lalaloopsy birthday party decor, I decided to make up a few paper plate 'buttons'.  

This was super fast and easy, check it out:

Supplies:

-Paper plates in dinner and dessert sizes (I used white, light pink and hot pink)

-Black construction paper

-Pencil & scissors

-Pill bottle, or any object that will allow you to trace a circle of the appropriate size

Tracing

After deciding how many plates that I wanted to make (16), I multiplied that by 4 to calculate how many 'button holes' needed to be cut out.  Then I started tracing circles onto the black construction paper.

Tip:  Layer two pieced of construction paper on top of each other to reduce your cutting time!

Button Holes

I used a hot glue gun to add four paper circles to each of the plates.

Single Layer

The large hot and light pink plates I made into single layer buttons......

Double Layer

.....while combining the large white dinner plate with the small hot pink dessert plate for a more colorful look.

  This was really easy, just glue four black circles to a small plate and then glue that small plate to the center of a larger one.

Side Note:  You can see that not all of the button hole circles are perfectly round, don't worry about it.  Once everything is done and on display, it will barely be noticeable :)

Pretty Buttons

And there you have it, super easy button decor!

I hope you enjoyed this how-to post, I'll be back soon with more Lalaloopsy party details.  Thanks for stopping by!
