How to make buttons to match your project
When you have just mad a project and have forgotten about what buttons you might use, self covered buttons could be the answer.

I have a stash of buttons, but even then sometimes you can't find the perfect match.

This is the first time I've used these, really easy and look really professional. No tools needed either. I might get some more these to keep in the stash.
