Before After
This is my last tutorial in this series. Today I'm going to show you how you can recycle your old buttons by covering them with fabric. Just follow the easy steps below to create new buttons out of old ones.
1 - Cut a circle of fabric big enough to cover the button you're recycling.
2 - As in the previous tutorials from this series, sticth all the way around the circle.
3 - Place the button in the centre of your circle of fabric.
4 - Pull the end of the thread as shown in this photo and until the fabric is covering the button tightly.
5 - Do some stitches to hold the fabric in place.
Hope you enjoy this tutorial. This is a great way to get buttons that match your projects or to recycle buttons that have lost some of their colour because they've been around for too long as was the case with the ones you see above. They came from old clothes that were thrown away.
