It looks great. I have a suggestion though. I have made many of these buttons in the past and have found if you slightly dampen the fabric before you begin it makes it easier to work with.
Meira Rundhaug That actually makes a lot of sense, especially when tucking the fabric into the button. I will certainly try this! Thank you. Great tip!
I absolutely loved this video. The shank looks gorgeous. I am so lining my vests' buttons with this kit! Easy and very fashionable! Thanks for the tutorial!!!
I found this tutorial the other day and actually made some myself (with the kit from Joann's)! They work with a mini charm pack (2 1/2 inch squares) for the 1 1/2 size.
First of all I want to say thank you for making this video. I've been wanting to make covered buttons for a long time but didn't know another way of doing them except for buying the machine. I have a question, what type of plastic do you recommend to cover the buttons. I saw a video of a girl who did the same thing as you but she put was paper before the fabric and it came out really nice. :)
TatXanime That is a great question! You can get kits for these that have a button loop for sewing onto things, or a kit with a pin backing instead. I have even seen kits that have an earring backing too. Hope that helps!
