233KToday, I am going to show you how to make your own fabric covered snap buttons. This is a fun and easy project that can add a personalized touch to your clothing, accessories, or home decor items. Fabric covered snap buttons are a great way to customize your items and make them stand out. So, let’s get started!
First, you will need a few supplies to make fabric covered snap buttons. You will need snap button blanks, fabric of your choice, a fabric-covered button kit, scissors, a pencil or fabric marker, and a glue gun. You can find snap button blanks and fabric-covered button kits at your local craft store.
Start by cutting out a small piece of fabric that is slightly larger than the snap button blank. Place the fabric piece on a flat surface with the wrong side facing up. Then, place the snap button blank on top of the fabric, with the metal ring facing down.
Next, use a pencil or fabric marker to trace around the snap button blank onto the fabric. This will help you cut out the fabric to the right size. Carefully cut out the fabric along the traced line using scissors. Make sure to cut just inside the traced line to ensure that the fabric fits properly on the snap button blank.
Now, it’s time to cover the snap button blank with the fabric. Take the fabric-covered button kit and follow the instructions to assemble the button. This usually involves placing the fabric piece in the button shell, pushing the snap button blank into the shell, and then using the button back to secure the fabric and snap button blank in place.
Once the fabric-covered snap button is assembled, you can customize it further by adding embellishments such as beads, sequins, or rhinestones. Use a glue gun to attach the embellishments to the fabric-covered snap button, being careful not to burn yourself with the hot glue.
Now that your fabric covered snap button is complete, you can attach it to your desired item. Simply press the snap button onto the fabric of your clothing, accessories, or home decor items to secure it in place. Fabric covered snap buttons are a great way to add a unique touch to your items and show off your creativity!
There are endless possibilities when it comes to making fabric covered snap buttons. You can use different fabrics, colors, and patterns to create personalized snap buttons that reflect your style and taste. Whether you are embellishing a garment, adding a decorative touch to a bag, or customizing a pillow, fabric covered snap buttons are a versatile and fun way to add a pop of color and texture to your items.
