Here’s what you’ll need:

Using the pattern on the back of the cover button kit, cut out your fabric pieces

Center fabric wrong side up on the white piece of the button maker

Push button into button maker and fold fabric over button

Place back of button on top of fabric & use blue piece to push down. Then pop the finished button out of the mold.
