  Step 1

  Find something round to use as a template . Trace and cut out so that the hole remains intact.

• 

  Step 2

  Use the pattern with the hole as a viewfinder.

• 

  Step 3

  Now place the button into the hole, remove the pattern and draw a circle about 1 cms away from the circumference. Use the button to make exact size patterns on a piece of thick cardboard and polyester batting.

• 

  Step 4

  Sew around the fabric scrap, about 1/2 cms away from the edges. Do not secure the last stitch and leave the needle threaded.

• 

  Step 5

  Put the batting inside the back side of the fabric scrap, top it with the cardboard piece, and pull . It should look like a bottle cap.

• 

  Step 6

  Secure by sewing zigzag all around. ( This is the tricky part as to whether the button will turn out round or not. )

• 

  Step 7

  Ta-ta !

• 

  Step 8

  Now place the newly sewn button on top of some felt. Trace and cut out. Fold the felt in half, and make 2 snips vertically. This will become a slot to put the hair clip in.

• 

  Step 9

  Glue the button onto the clip.
