Carolyn, If you go to YOU I have a post that shows you how to make them. They are the metal covered buttons without the shank in the back.

Thank you. These buttons are glued to a retractable reel. You can't put these on clothes, but you can make them for that if you have the right backing on the button.
51302Terre - these are terrific!!! And, I want to thank you for showing us how to do it on You. I wanna make some, hehehehe! Wish I had some extra time! How long do you think it took you to do this group? Great job! Laura*

Thanks Laura, it took about 30 mins. The mini's are from emblibrary I think. I used my 2X3 hoop and ripped off a 4" strip of white fabric and then with each one I individually put stabilizer under, but didn't cute the fabric until all were done. 1 strip of fabric will make approx 12 which is how many I needed, until yesterday when she asked for more. LOL... I'm glad you like them. I hope you will be able to make some too.

Emily, I keep on hand a bolt of white fabric and snip 3" and and rip the whole bolt from selvage to selvage. I use my small 2X3 hoop and just start stitching. I don't cut the fabric until I have however many I can get on that one long strip (usually 12). :) They are fast and easy. I left instructions on YOU.
205824685Wonderful that you are getting so many orders for these - where did you get your mini's? Great work Terre *4U Shirlene

They are flat back buttons that are covered with the embroidered fabric. I then glue them onto the ID Badge reels. They are used in hospitals, schools, seminars, etc... Here is what they look like before I cover them. This is a great website if you have never been there.
