the perfect button tutorial

If you have ever been on the search for the perfect button here is the answer.  Make your own!!

what you need
Scrap of fabric.  size depends of button size but 5x5 is plenty.
button kit.  these are sold at the shop behind the cutting table.

Cut your fabric 1 inch bigger than your button.  There should be 1/2 inch around the button when laid on the fabric.  There is a pattern on the back of the packages.

place a small amount of hot glue on the bottom of the button.  This will help hold the fabric. 

Pull the fabric around making sure it is smooth on the top and push the raw edges into the hot glue.

push the back of the button kit into the top piece.

You are done.  SO SIMPLE.

Use anywhere you would use a button.
