What do these three things have in common...1.) Libby's toy that she unstuffed and tossed too and fro
2.) buttons in colors I will never use
3.) fabric scraps that I didn't have the heart to throw out because I love the fabric so
Answer:
Fabric covered stuffed buttons!!! These things are so cute and super easy to make.
Here's how you make them:
1.) Cut fabric in a circle a bit larger than the button
2.) Stitch the outside edge to make a draw-string like bag for button and stuffing.
3.) Take small ball of stuffing from frog's head. Roll into a ball in palms of your hands. 
4.) Put stuffing and button in the little fabric bag you made
5.) Using thread like a drawsting, enclose button and stuffing into the fabric and pull taught. I also added a few extra stitches using a diagonal whip stitch across the backside.
6.) All finished! Fabric button to add to your button collection, uhm, I mean add to a scrapbook page!
P.S. ~ Look for some of these in my new kit that I will list on eBay this Thursday!

wow! great instructions. I could see myself buying all the stuff but not actually sewing fabric on any buttons! LOL
Congratulations on starting your blog. Can't wait to see more of your neat projects. You must be really crafty all the time because the stuff you put out on ebay is just wonderful.
