How to fit a button on a fabric

The art of creating clothes includes many professional tricks. But even a novice craftswoman is able to turn a simple outfit into an original thing, using simple tricks and secrets. An example is the use of unusual buttons. They will turn out if you tie the fittings. But the easiest way to make them is with your own tight-fitting fabric. In this case, you can use both a monophonic version and a game in contrast . Using various decorative elements (beads, sequins, rhinestones), you can also create fasteners. They will not only help clothes to fit, but also serve as a stylish decoration of the outfit. We will tell you how to tighten the button manually.

What you need to cover the button with fabric

The main point in any work is the preparatory phase. It depends on him how the creation process will go, what the final result will be. In this case, the preliminary work consists of the following actions.

  • The choice of fittings .
  • Selection of fabric suitable color.
  • If required, search for the desired decor.
  • Workplace equipment . For convenience, everything you need should be located at arm's length.
  • Preparation of the tool : threads in the tone of matter, scissors, filler (if you will be performing the convex version), a sewing needle.

Reference! As a basis, it is desirable to use buttons of a larger diameter, with a flat surface.

With your own hands, you can fit both flat blanks and variations on the legs. Let's consider each method using a detailed example.

This method is especially relevant if it is not possible to select the fittings in color.

Materials and Tools

The following items will be required for this process.

  • The base is the right size.
  • Pieces of the main material. Contrast fabric can also be used.
  • Scissors, sewing needle and thread in tone.

Reference! If you use filler, you can make a convex variation. To do this, it is enough to place a filler (cotton or synthetic winterizer) under the outer layer of the fabric.

Completing of the work

  • Cut two blanks of different diameters from the material with scissors. The size of the first should exceed the base, and the second should be smaller than the base.
  • On the edge of the upper part, sew small stitches in a circle.

  • Next, put the warp in the center of the workpiece and gently pull the thread. Secure the upper part from the wrong side with several seams.
  • Then, make notches on the lower element and, tucking them on the wrong side, sweep the edge.
  • Attach the lower part to the workpiece with small stitches. This closes the top seam.

Advice! To prevent the lower part from sliding off during fastening, secure it with safety pins.

If desired, the top can be decorated with decor in the form of embroidery or appliqué from beads, beads or sequins.

After manufacturing, such a fastener is sewn to the clothes at the bottom.

How to fit a button with a leg

If the use of a clasp on the leg is mandatory for your things, then the method of fitting is slightly different from the above. But, despite the differences, this method is also simple to implement.

The first option involves the use of special blanks for covering, which are sold in needlework stores.

To work you need pieces of fabric, blanks, matching thread and a needle .

Execution process

  • Cut out a part from matter that will be twice as large as the base.
  • Then carefully divide the base.
  • Place the upper part inside out and center the upper part of the base.

  • Tuck the edges of the fabric in the center and press down on top of the second part of the base.
  • The button is ready. If necessary, decorate the product with decor.

Second way

In the second option , an integral base is used .

Completing of the work

  • Cut out a circle from matter, the diameter of which is twice as large as the base.
  • Fill the blank along the edge with small stitches.
  • Place the base in the center of the workpiece and gently pull off the fabric. In this case, the fabric will fit the riddle.

Attention! To add volume to the button, place a little filler under the fabric.

  • Fasten the seam on the wrong side of the product. In this case, instead of threads, you can use glue . To do this, apply it to the bottom of the base and, pulling the fabric, press it from the wrong side.
