Just print it on card stock, add your earrings & you have yourself a Christmas gift.

And here is an Earring Tutorial from the cheerful Casa de Lewis blog...
You can skip steps 1-5 on her tutorial and just whip up your buttons with the iTOP and then just hot glue them to your earring backs.
Too simple, huh?! 

Wow 'em with the Wine Bottle...
image 
Isn't this a great way to spuce up that wine bottle you are taking to your friend's Christmas party?
How simple... Just make a pretty button (or two or three), cut out a few fabric leaves and a square of fabric/burlap and tie it all together with some raffia around your bottle. Just lovely.

And of course our favorite has got to be embellishing those beautiful quilts!
Bunny Hill is such a perfect example of how covered buttons can add that special touch to your quilt.
Their A Tisket A Tasket block of the month is absolutely darling with its little button embellishments.

 Here is a little video to see how easy the iTOP is...

    WOW - LOVE this one!! Somehow I missed ever seeing this gadget or otherwise would have it already...:) Besides its use, it also brings sush wonderful childhood memories...my mom would mostly have her dresses made and with covered buttons too! As a kid I would take the fabric to the "button lady" to have them done (yes there were "button ladies" in former Yugoslavia, few decades ago, where clothes were mostly tailor made rather than bought in the store.
    If I win this, I will immediately call my mom (still overseas) and tell her that I can be a "button lady" now!! :)

    I have wanted the Imaginisce iTOP button maker since I first saw a video about them. What a fabulous addition to any crafting room, no matter what type of crafting you do. I'm sure those adorable bracelets would be my first thing to make for Christmas gifts. I have a Granddaughter that would be THRILLED if I made her one using the Hello Kitty fabric I have waiting to be made into something for her. Can you imagine? A cute little Hello Kitty bracelet? I'd be the bestest Grandma ever. And what Grandma doesn't want those kind of brownie points? LOL
