Here’s how I made them

1. Grabbed a Sharpe and drew the “Cute as a Button” and the little buttons.

2. Scanned the drawing and finished the invitation in Photoshop, printed and rounded corners

3. Cut scrap fabric using rotary cutter

4. Sewed random buttons on fabric using my sewing machine {if you haven’t done this, you’ll be surprised at how easy it is! I’ll never hand-sew a button again!}

5. Sewed two pieces of fabric together with contrasting thread to make pocket and trimmed edges with pinking shears

Some of them are flat out duds. {kidding}. ALL of my friends are creative in their own right: teaching, nutrition, numbers, crafting, and the list goes on. Nicki, however, really sets the bar. {when you get a chance, look at the wrinkly babies on her photography blog here}.

She created these invitations for my baby shower, and her attention to detail is inspiring! Thanks Nicki!
