I’m still selling pies, even in the rain. So while I’m trying to make a little fence money you can stay nice and dry while making these adorable button noisemakers.

These would be so adorable as a send off in lieu of rice, lavender, or bird seed. Find a scrapbook paper that coordinates with your wedding colors and styles and make these little cuties up!
Here’s what you need:
- Scissors or decorative edgers
- Cardboard or corrugated kraft paper
- Scrapbook paper
- Craft glue
- Ice-pop stick or tongue depressor
- Hole punch
- Waxed twine
- Beads or buttons
Here’s how it’s done:
- Using scissors or decorative edgers, cut two identical circles from cardboard or corrugated kraft paper.
- Cut a matching circle from your scrapbook paper and glue to your cardboard/corrugated kraft paper.
- Glue the two pieces of cardboard/corrugated kraft paper together with craft glue, sandwiching an ice-pop stick or tongue depressor in between the pieces for a handle.
- Using a hole punch, make holes around the edge of the cardboard circle, about 1 inch apart. Thread 3- to 5-inch lengths of waxed twine with beads or buttons, and tie the free end to holes.
Now you’ve got a cute little send off that no one will expect!
