10 Minute Trend

One of my favorite trends lately is the hair band with a button trend. I really wanted to try it so, google to the rescue! 10 minutes on the internet and I was able to have a fully comprehensible idea of how to cover a button without buying a kid. And I'm here to tell you, it's easy! All you need are buttons, some fabric, a needle and thread, and scissors!

Now let's make some buttons! 

Step 1: Measure a piece of fabric that is double the diameter of the button and cut it from the fabric strip. 


Step 2: Thread the needle (I'm using black so you can see what I'm doing) and put a knot at the end.


Step 3: Stitch a large circle around the fabric. Do not cut the thread yet!


Step 4: Place the button in the center of the stitched circle.


Step 5: Pull the thread tight, encasing the button.


Step 6: Sew the loose ends together.

Step 7: Attach the button to anything you want! Hair bands, bags, anything!

I hope this gets you inspired to make your own trend!

Remember, Keep it Classy,
