Add a new creative twist to your jewellery with these lovely button making kits!

You start with two pieces of metal and end up with a beautiful button that is covered in the fabric of your choice. These buttons measure 12mm and are available in two versions: flat back and wire back. The flat back buttons are ideal for gluing onto rings, earrings, hair pins and pendant findings, and the wire back buttons are perfect for stringing and for threading onto hairbands. These buttons are offered with the option of a making tool for assembling your buttons (you only need to purchase it once for buttons of the same size).

To make your pretty buttons just pick some fabric – thin fabric is best – and cut a circle that’s about 1-1.5cm wider than your button. Pop the fabric onto the white part of the tool, pattern-side facing down, and sit your button over this, ensuring that any pattern is centered in the position you want it to be (this can sometimes be a bit tricky!), and then with the red bit of the tool, press down into the white bit so that the fabric and button top are snug inside the white part of the tool. Bunch the fabric back into the button and finally, place the back of the button on top, ensuring it is perfectly centered, and with the red bit of the tool again press down hard so that it fits right inside the button. Finally, pop the button out by pressing onto the flat side of the tool, and there you go, a perfect button that you have made yourself!
