Self cover buttons are widely used in dressmaking and upholstery where a seamless, fabric-matched finish is required. They are particularly popular for bridal and occasion wear, where buttons can be covered in the same fabric as the garment for a refined, high-end look. They are also ideal for restoring vintage garments or creating coordinated decorative details across home furnishing projects.

Available in multiple sizes, typically ranging from small 11mm buttons through to larger statement sizes up to 38mm depending on style and material. Options include both plastic and metal bases, with kits designed for easy assembly and secure fastening.

Button covering tools are available for faster, more precise application, helping to evenly stretch fabric and secure the button backing. These tools are especially useful when producing multiple buttons or working with thicker or more delicate fabrics.

Whether you're creating bespoke bridal buttons, matching garment fastenings, upholstery-covered buttons or decorative craft pieces, this collection provides everything needed to achieve a professional finish.

Explore self cover buttons and tools and create custom buttons perfectly matched to your next sewing or creative project.
