Step 13: Buttons, Buttons, Buttons
You could use the scratch-up-both-sides method of attachment to join the buttons to the body, but here is another great way to make sure that small pieces do not break off the piece after baking. This process works best for small, round attachments.
Poke a hole in the center of the body using a toothpick, and poke one hole on either side of that hole.
Roll out three tiny ropes. Insert the end of a rope into the hole, filling it with clay. When the hole is filled, press the remaining clay in the rope into a circle on the body.
Because the button clay is rooted within the body, it will not break off after firing.
