  Step 1

  Measure the back of your button from the edge to the shank. Draw around your button using a tailors pen on your scrap fabric, then add the distance from the edge to the shank around the circle.

• 

  Step 2

  I drew the basic lines of the pokéball onto the smaller circle, using a circle stencil for the small, middle circle and measuring with a ruler to find the centre line (make this line about 1mm). Once your lines are drawn on, stick a piece of masking tape across the middle, touching the line you drew across the middle.

• 

  Step 3

  Paint one side of the circle red, overlapping the masking tape if necessary.

• 

  Step 4

  My fabric paint required me to iron the back of the fabric to set the paint when dry, so I did this now.

• 

  Step 5

  Repeat step 3 on the other side of the circle, this time using white paint.

• 

  Step 6

  Repeat step 4 once the white paint is dry, and then add two pieces of masking tape on either side of the centre line.

• 

  Step 7

  Fill in the centre line between the two pieces of masking tape using black paint, leaving the small, middle circle blank.

• 

  Step 8

  After removing the masking tape, once the black paint is dry, paint the middles circle in using white paint and black for the outline.

• 

  Step 9

  Cut out the painted circle and sew tacking stitches around the outside.

• 

  Step 10

  Pull the tacking stitches tight to gather the circle around the button and pull it as tight as possible.

• 

  Step 11

  Sew the fabric tight around the gathered area to secure the fabric around the button.

• 

  Step 12

  Attach your button to your garment and wear with pride!
