This fabric covered button ring tutorial is the neatest idea!

One day I was going through a huge old box of antique buttons. I was drawn to the fabric covered ones but didn't like the fabric on them.

I thought, wouldn't it be an awesome idea to be able to choose the fabric myself! Girlie fabric, hip fabric, holiday fabric...so many ideas!

So I went to my home away from home (Hobby Lobby) and picked up a fabric button making kit for $2.99. You get 5 buttons and the tools to make it.

You'll also need to get a ring base from the jewelry department (also at Hobby Lobby). They're about $1.25 maybe.

I have A LOT of fabric at home so I didn't need to visit the fabric cutting lady. I came home and came up with this awesome fabric covered button...ring!

Check out this tute and try it for yourself, there's no end to what you can do with this!

1. You'll need a fabric covered button kit and a ring base. (Hobby Lobby)
2. Cut a 2" diameter from cardboard for pattern.
3. Trace pattern on back of fabric.

5. Get out your mold.

8. Push fabric down into mold and button. ( I used the end of a pencil)

10. Now use your pencil to push fabric into back of button.
11. Take the back of the button, place it over fabric and push down. You'll hear a thump.

13. Now your ready to take it out.
14. Push from the bottom of the mold to pop the button out.
15. Tada! Now you have a fabric covered button.
