  Step 1

  The best part of the buttons is that you can use simple off the shelf shank buttons. This is a great way to use up some of those buttons that have been sitting in the jar on your craft bench. The shank of the button should be just smaller than 1/4" Too big and it will get stuck in the grommet. Too small and the elastic may not slip through or it may slide around in the grommet.

• 

  Step 2

  You need elastic cord, buttons with a shank. The sharpie pen is just used to get the size of the loop correct.

  The elastic should be just small enough to fit through the shank of the button.

• 

  Step 3

  Cut about 5" of string and put it through the button. I like to dip the ends of the elastic in Dritz Fray Check glue to seal the ends but it is not critical.

  Step 4

  Tie a simple overhand knot with the too loops. Do not tighten the knot yet.

• 

  Step 5

  Slip the loop over the sharpie pen. The loop should just fit snugly around the end of the pen. If it is too loose, your skin will sag :( if it is to tight, it will be hard to get the loop over the jean button.

  Step 6

  The button is now complete. Put the loop through the grommet in the skin.

• 

  Step 7

  Now put the loop through the grommet in the bag.

• 

  Step 8

  Turn the bag over and then slip the loop over the jean button.

  The ends of the loop are to help you remove the loop to change skins.

• 

  Step 9

  When you are done, the button will cover the grommet.

• 

  Step 10

  Here is the finished bag, the buttons cover the grommet and accent your skin.
