First, decide how much of the picture you wish to use and how you want to place it with the wings. I decided to use just the face for this one. I like to glue the wings and face to a piece of cardstock to make it a little stronger, then cut them out. 4. Next, I like to lay out my buttons to get an idea of what combination I like.
