Materials:
- Fabric
- Button snaps
- Elastic band/ fabrics
- Scissors
- Marking pen or pencil
- Needle and thread
Directions:
Step 1
Grab a button and roll the elastic band around it making sure not to pull the elastic, just lay it gently around and hold it in place. Remove the button carefully, then check if it is still the right size, and then sew the ends to keep the size and form of the circle. Roll it around until it’s about 2 inches in diameter or it’s sturdy enough, then sew the end of the elastic. Sew its sides as well in place, then use this as your template.

Step 2
Put it on top of your fabric and trace its shape around, then cut it out. Place the round cut-out fabric on top of the elastic, make sure it is on the center, then push the button in the middle until it almost pops out on the other side. Then, attach the snap at the back and push it with a pointy tool or anything that could fit in the hole to hold/snap it down, repeat the process with other buttons and fabric designs.
