All About Button Covers: The Movie

The Pointing It Out Podcast team talks button covers in their latest video.

You'll learn about button covers and how to assemble them.  Patty Paints started making button cover designs with the buttons included in 2020-21 but you don't have to use her designs.  You can buy the button cover hardware from places like Joann's Fabrics.  Dritz makes a variety of sizes.

The largest button covers available are 2 1/2 inches in diameter.   You'll use a three inch round piece of needlepoint for these.

If you want to glue a magnet on the back, look for 1 1/4 inch rare earth magnets (also known as neodymium magnets) and do use E6000 glue to attach the magnet as it's a glue that hold metal to metal very well.  

Here is the link to the button covers tutorial Patty Paints did on Instagram.

They looked fabulous in the picture Gay Ann shared (which I'm not posting here as I don't have permission to share).
