Do I need a special tool to make these buttons?

A button-covering tool makes folding and snapping the shells much faster and neater. You can also do it by hand with the included instructions, but results are less consistent.

What fabrics work best?

Medium-weight woven fabrics like cotton and linen fold cleanly and hold their shape. Very thin, stretchy or slippery fabrics tend to shift and can show the metal underneath.

Are these buttons washable?

Once assembled, covered buttons generally handle normal garment washing. Check that your fabric is pre-washed and that the shell is fully snapped closed before washing.

What sizes are in the pack?

The pack is a 60-count supply of cover buttons in a single size. Check the listed size against your pattern's button requirement before buying.

Can I use them for upholstery?

They work for light upholstery and decor projects like cushions and headboards. For heavy-use furniture, choose a sturdier upholstery-specific button.
