Playing with Polymer

Thanks to Francie and her adorable polymer clay buttons (June 28), I was inspired to go to the library and get a book on polymer clay and then played last night. They are certainly not professional-looking, but I think that they're fun (and I had fun doing it). I think it would help to get a circular template to shape the buttons (mine were all by hand).
Here are the buttons:

I attached one of the new buttons to a plain bib (shown with a burp towel and another bib). I also added a 2-stitch i-cord heart.

My supportive husband says it does look like a heart, but then again, maybe he just wanted me to finish so we could have dinner. :)

Comments:
I have no vested interest in dinner with you and I think it looks like a heart =)

Circle template or not, I think the buttons are ADORABLE! You did a great job!
 
They look great! How this button makes the plain one real special!
 
Yes, it looks like a heart and yes, he did want dinner! Your work is adorable, thanks for sharing.
 
I love the buttons and the bibs are too adorable. I might have to give polymer clay a try, it looks like a lot of fun!
 
very cool.

i am learning soooo much from all you women. I would never have thought of making my own buttons....
 
the buttons are super fun. you are going to make me get into the botton making business. i don't even have enough time to knit these days!
