Some folks said they would like me to start posting some tutorials on different upholstery items, so I will start with making vinyl covered buttons
Start by cutting your material into circles...by folding it over on itself you can cut about 18 per punch, once you have the circles cut you load your die
the lower die receives the plastic snap cup
the upper die you place one vinyl circle (face down) and one button mold
push this down with a wooden dowel
then place the top die onto the bottom die and pull the handle down
you get a button like this
