You may use the directions to create items for personal or resale use.
Step-by-Step Instructions Picture to the left shows the front side of the
monogrammed fabric. Flip your monogrammed fabric over, you will be
working on the back side. Use the pattern given to you with your button cover
kit, this is the size that you will cut the fabric to. If you can’t
find the pattern or it didn’t come with one, double the diameter of
your button for your fabric pattern. I folded mine in half, and then half again, this
will give the center of the pattern. I traced over the folded lines
so that you could see the center lines. Fold the circle in half, and
line up the center point (where the traced line and the fold
connect) with the center of your letter. Unfold your circle pattern, making sure not to move
it. Hold it in place and ...t ...trace around it. Place your button in the center of your circle (this
should also be centered around your letter). Cut out your circle (fabric and interfacing) along
the outside circle lines. Pull apart the interfacing and the fabric. Now cut only the interfacing (the white backside
“fabric”) along the smaller inner circle lines. Be careful, making
sure to NOT cut your front fabric, make sure to separate the fabrics
while cutting. (Can you tell I’ve cut my front fabric before). Prepare your button by using a glue stick. Sparingly
spread glue around the top of your button. Now place your fabric on the button, centering it.
You can move it around, make sure that you look at it from the
front, pulling the sides tight to check and see if you need to
maneuver the fabric any. Now you can place your button into the white rubber
tool that came with your button cover kit. Try to make sure that your fabric stays in place, so
that your letter will be centered. At this point turn it over, and you can see thru the
bottom of the white rubber tool and to make sure that your letter is
centered properly. If needed reposition your letter so it is
centered. Now use the blue piece that came with your cover
button kit, make sure that all of the fabric edges are aiming
inward, place blue piece on top to flatten fabric edges against the
back of your button... Now place the back on the button. Make sure that the
shank side is up, or if you have buttons that don’t have shanks (or
you’ve removed the shanks) the side that should be up towards you
will have a ridge on the outside edge. The easiest way to pop this into place is to use the
blue piece again and apply slight pressure. The back should fit snuggly and snap into
place. You are now done. Just peel back the white rubber
tool and pop out your one-of-a-kind button. Use them to personalize all of your projects. They
are great additions to accessories and outfits. Mix and match
colors, fabrics, size and have fun! |
