Upholstery fabric is great for adding a touch of elegance to your home decor projects, but it can be a challenge to work with when it comes to self-covering buttons. These buttons can add a professional-looking finishing touch to your upholstery projects, but the thickness of the fabric can make it difficult to get a neat, clean result. Luckily, there is a simple solution to this problem!
Traditionally, the only way to self-cover buttons with upholstery fabric was to use an expensive button press. However, a clever DIY method has been developed that is both affordable and effective. All you need is a button, some fabric, and a needle and thread.
In the video below, see how a simple running stitch can be used to create a "shower cap" cover for your button. This method is a great alternative to expensive button presses, and it allows you to achieve professional-looking results with any fabric, even thick upholstery fabric.
