Momigami Button Clips...Tactile Dimension
During exploring how to use my Momigami paper I came up with these dimensional button clips to increase the tactile experience of the paper as I wanted to keep the beautiful feature of this paper kneading technique that results in paper that feels like cotton.
Button Clips
What you’ll need:
Card stock (or file folder)
- Foam, dimensionals, card board, chip board (you will be using this to stabilize your shaped top circle)
- Paper punch, I used a circle. A shape you can sculpt to achieve dimension. I also tried a die cut heart.
- Stylus, crochet hook, marker (tool for shaping your ‘button’ to make it dimensional)
- Paper clips
- Glue
- Paint pen or ink (optional for edges)(can also use glitter or foil paper for your back circle)
Video Tutorial

Shaping tip:
The depth depends on how long you want to shape the flower. You can get more dimension the longer you sculpt, making the top layer quite rounded/dimensional. Adding water helps break down the fibers as well as stiffening the paper after it’s dry, allowing it to maintain it’s shape.
Beautiful Paper Techinique
I think Momigami is a beautiful paper technique to try. It adds such a tactile experience to any type of paper. It would make a beautiful addition to any page and would also make a beautiful book, a tiny charm size book, tags, pockets, tucks, flaps, page edge, ruffle or any other paper project where you would like to enjoy a tactile experience. You can see more types of paper I tried here….
I hope this inspires you to try Momigami paper kneading technique and come up with your own ideas on how to apply it to your designs.
