How-To: Magnetic Pin Cushion/Needle Holder July 13 2022
Supplies:
- 1 Completed Size 75 (1 7/8 inch / 48 mm) Fabric Cover Button
- Fabric Of Your Choice
- 1x Standard Round Magnet (Approximately 3/4" Round)
- E6000, Hot Glue, or comparable adhesive
I Like Big Buttons! - Picture Tutorial Below:
1. Cut your fabric scrap. You will want a circle that is about twice the diameter of your button blank. *TIP* Our All-In-One Cover Button Template makes creating the right size circle of fabric a breeze.
2. Put your fabric piece in the larger assembly tool piece (RIGHT SIDE DOWN). When you look into the tool you want to see the back of the fabric.
3. Glue the magnet inside the back of the Cover Button with Hot Glue or E6000.
4. Place the button front (the domed piece) on top of the fabric. Leave the fabric edges hanging out.
5. Press the cover button edges down into the tool. *TIP* To make it easier on my fingers, I use a sharpie marker to apply pressure.
6. Place the back cover button piece on top of your fabric and button front. *TIP* If the cover button will be subject to repeated tugging from the back, you may want to add a little e6000 adhesive before attaching the back.
7. Take the smaller piece of the assembly tool and with the open side down place it on the button back.
8. Press down. You may hear a pop when the last bit of the button back slips into place. If you take the tool out and the button is not completely secured, just put it back in and press down again. *TIP* I often use a flat piece of wood to apply pressure, again to save my fingers. It also helps to avoid the button back going in at an angle.
9. When you take the small assembly tool piece off, the fabric edges will be secured underneath the button back.
9. Remove the button from the larger assembly tool piece.
10. Tada! Now you have an attractive Pin Cushion/Needle Holder for your sewing room.
