My Project

Please help me give my students the opportunity to make their own buttons! Throughout my class, students learn various artmaking techniques. We take painting up a notch and use out-of-the-box materials to enhance our watercolor techniques. We learn about cyanotypes and create prints using the sun's UV rays. And we learn about embroidery and various stitches.

My students love learning non-traditional artmaking skills!

Getting these button making supplies can help my students create something they haven't before-wearable art! I plan on using these supplies to teach a lesson on button making, recycling and repurposing art, and potentially use them to fundraise for my class!
