  • Non stick cooking Spray
  • 1 Americana Decor Chalky Finish Paint
  • Quick set Cement

Steps (5 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Pick your lid (or flat bottom bowl) for your button mold
    With a craft knife, score the inside of the small lids and the area where they will be glued on the lid
    Scoring (scratching) your surface will help the glue stick better

    Fill the caps to the rim with hot glue and glue them in place on the lid
    After the glue has dried, spray the mold with non-stick cooking spray

  3. 3

    Mix enough rapid-set cement to fill your mold. Follow the instructions on the box
    Fill the mold and allow to cure.
