Bead Embellished Buttons

string 60A, leaving a

the A beads. String

A, skip bead, and pass

through the bead in the

previous round. Repeat for

a total of 30 beads.

step 3: For the second row,

use 30B to fill in the

gaps between beads.

step 4: Sew the circle

of beads to

you like, sew

a d d i t i o n a l

beads to the

center of

the circle,

covering as

much of the

fabric as you

wish.

String 3 beads and form the

irst round by passing through

the first bead. For the second

round, string 2 beads and pass

through the next bead of the

previous round; repeat twice.

To step up for the next round,

pass through the irst bead of the

current round. For the third round, string 1 bead and pass

through the next bead of the previous round; repeat all

around, then step up at the end of the round. Continue in

this manner, alternating the two rounds. You may need to

adjust the bead count depending on the relative size of the

beads in order to keep the circle lat.

step 5: Trim the fabric so that it extends about /4” past

the button cover. Tuck the fabric into the button

cover, folding a little bit at a time. Press the

button back on firmly. (Some button cover kits

may include a tool to help you secure the back

on the button. ) R
