How to Remove a Button shank
What you'll need:
-
a piece of white paper
-
a baking surface
-
an oven
-
a tissue blade or single edge razor blade
-
potholders
-
Lay your button face down on the white paper and warm it in a 275° oven for about 10 minutes.
-
Using potholders and a tissue blade or razor blade, carefully slice the shank off of the backside. If it doesn't slide off easily, heat it for a few minutes longer
-
You can drill polymer clay when it's cool, but it is a bit easier if you warm the button first.
