We all love fabric self-covered buttons, but let’s be honest – the process is quite fiddly if you do it the old school way with thread, needles, and gathers. That’s where this universal tool for cover buttons comes in handy. It’s a nifty tool that makes the process a lot easier and quicker.
Features:
Fits buttons of the sizes 11mm, 15mm, 19mm, 22mm and 29mm.
Works for both plastic and metal buttons (it’s sometimes labeled for metal only, but it works for both types).
No need for a hammer, thread or needle.
The socket is made of a rubber-like material and the lid/press tool of plastic.

Step 3 Push the button down into the socket.
Step 4 Press down any wayward fabric edges.
Step 5
