Tutorial: Fabric covered buttons, with or without a special kit

Surayya from Blissful Sewing shows how to make fabric covered buttons, with or without the special button covering kit you can buy at the fabric store. The kit will come with basic instructions, but her tutorial is more detailed and shares photos of each step. She also shows how to make covered buttons without a kit, using only a flat button and a circle of fabric. This is a great solution for when you either don’t have a kit on hand, or the kit doesn’t come in the size button you need. Go to Blissful Sewing for the tutorials.
