A long time ago, on a Southwest trip, I bought sterling button covers with stamped designs on them. Just found these blank ones<br />http://www.jewelryfindings-online.com/button_covers.htm<br /><br />Two nice things--they can be moved to different shirts without sewing, instead of being a permanent part of any one shirt. And since they slide over the regular button, it doesn't matter what size the buttonhole is. You probably know about this, but just in case...I'm sure you could attach domed dimes to them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-11798019783691963862012-03-30T19:00:52.998-04:002012-03-30T19:00:52.998-04:00Awesome ~ what a great Idea!Awesome ~ what a great Idea!John Pricenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-35338439862069884962012-03-21T10:03:42.728-04:002012-03-21T10:03:42.728-04:00PS: I even went to the hardware store today to try...PS: I even went to the hardware store today to try and find epoxy resin (for a variation on the penny table) and the dome thingy...err...anyway.

I've used mine more for doming jewelry pieces than coins so far, but I plan to make some buttons soon.<br />also, for anyone worried about washing their buttons, you could just pin them on the item, using either regular safety pins or the <a href="http://www.createforless.com/Dritz+Safety+Pins+Button+10+pc/pid13127.aspx" rel="nofollow">special button safety pins</a> That way you can remove the buttons when it's time to wash or dryclean the item.bookettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02639285974211866080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-41590093725026093462010-11-23T11:26:20.503-05:002010-11-23T11:26:20.503-05:00You are so creative!
