Fabric Buttons Tutorial:
When using fabric circles with a button machine, the fabric stretches and pulls and this is what happens. Not cool. I totally ruined half a dozen buttons before I figured out the trick.
See what happens when the fabric stretches?
Take a scrap of fabric and using one of the mylar circles, trace around the part you want to make a button.
See? Next you’ll need a paper sticker. You can use blank labels (the big address kind you get at the office depot place), but I didn’t have any, so I used a customs form that Sullivan tore the the other half from.
Stick your sticker to the back of the fabric and cut it out.
See? All cut out!
Put the circle on your press (where you would put the paper and mylar) and punch like normal.
All done and it’s perfect! No pulling!!
See how adorable and wonderful?
Sit back and bask in your awesomeness!!!
