The inspiration behind this class

This class was born from a simple question: How can we learn the basics of mixed media in a way that feels approachable, playful, and rewarding?

I wanted to design a project that teaches you core techniques like collaging, layering, inking, and stitching—but also gives you something tangible and delightful at the end. Paper buttons felt perfect. They are small, mindful projects that don’t overwhelm, yet they offer endless room for experimentation with texture, color, and value.

To me, these buttons are a metaphor for mixed media itself – that even the smallest creations can carry stories and spark joy.

Hi, I'm Debasree...

… your guide on this playful mixed-media journey into Tiny Treasures!

After a decade in the IT corporate world, I returned to art and found healing in collage — the quiet joy of bringing fragments together to create something whole. It became a way to slow down, listen inward, and express without needing words.

Since 2016, I’ve taught art to nearly 20,000 students worldwide and led 700+ in-person workshops. My classes are gentle, tactile, and rooted in the belief that creativity should feel calming, soulful, and deeply personal.

Whether you’re brand new to mixed media or simply want to reconnect with playful making, this class will guide you in creating tiny paper buttons that hold big stories—an experience that nourishes both your hands and your heart.

🌿 Why You’ll Want a Stash of Paper Buttons

I’ll be honest—I’ve almost used up so many of my own paper buttons, simply because I love creating journals. And here’s what I’ve learned along the way:

  • When you have a stash of paper buttons ready, you don’t have to stop and make new ones every time you start a journal.

  • You can choose the perfect button to match the mood, palette, or theme of your project.

  • Having them on hand makes journal-making faster, easier, and way more joyful.

  • They become a signature touch—a little piece of handmade art that makes every journal feel complete.

If you love creating journals as much as I do, you’ll find that a collection of paper buttons isn’t just practical—it’s inspiring.

Over 20,000 students have joined my classes. Here's what a few have said:

 

“I never realized how handy it would be to have a stash of paper buttons ready. Now when I’m working on a new journal, I just pick the ones that match my color palette and glue them in. Such a time saver—and so much fun to make!” 

– Laura K.

 

 

“Tiny Treasures came at a time when I really needed something uplifting. Sitting down to layer, cut, and stitch these little circles became a form of self-care for me.”

– Rosa M.

 

 

“This class made me fall in love with mixed media. I can’t stop making paper buttons—they’re addictive!” 

– Emily R.
