Assembling… your runes

Step 1

SPREAD your stitching out, so that each rune is stitched in the centre of an 8cm (3in) square of fabric. Cut around the stitching, using the template provided on the button packaging so that your stitching is in the centre of a 6.5cm (2½in) circle.

Step 2

PULL your fabric around the button front as tight as you can. If you like, use a small piece of double-sided tape to hold your fabric in place.

Step 3

USE your fingernail to tighten and smooth any lumpy areas around the perimeter of your button. Once you're happy with it, pop the backing into place. Once all the buttons are covered, rip a square of handmade paper and glue to the back of the frame. Finally, space the buttons on the backing paper, using a glue gun to stick each in place.
