Flannel Project: Button Shirt

I am planning on doing a storytime about buttons whenever we get back to programming post-pandemic. I made a flannel shirt with buttons to use at the storytime.

Button Shirt:

The rhyme I found about buttons for the shirt was created by Briony from Librionyian. 

Five little buttons on my shirt,

One popped off and rolled away.

count down...4, 3, 2, 1

No more buttons on my shirt!

I blew up a picture of a shirt using a powerpoint presentation. I was able to fit different parts of the picture into slides to make an even bigger template than an 8.5x11 sheet of printer paper. For the buttons, I used round circles of heavy-duty flannel. 

Then I put circle Velcro hooks glued down on the flannel circles. 

Then I attached hook Velcro on the back of buttons to attach them to the flannel shirt.

It turned out pretty great and I can't wait to use it at storytime!
