Great instructable! I was trying to figure out how to do this on my own last night but I used some craft wire to build my own shank on a regular 2 hole button. For the final button (that's going on a throw pillow) I'll be adding a little circle of felt too to give it a little extra padding and because my fabric is such a light color.

Great project! My dad did something similar when he was reupholstering an old sofa. Buttons covered this way hold up better for projects that don't involve a garment that will be buttoned and unbuttoned a lot how ever.

Sweet! I agree with the person below though, definitely needs sealant or for plastic based fabrics,you could burn the edges.

Great idea! The only suggested I might make would be to add a little seam sealant to the edgers of the fabric, so they don't fray. I like the photography, too. Nice, clear close-ups!

I second your suggestion on the sealant... and add that a drop of sealant on the knot would be a good idea too. Overall, this is a good, easy way to make beautiful custom buttons.
