Step-by-step instructions
Step 1
Trace a penny (coin) on a pretty thick plastic piece.
Step 2
Cut the circle out.
Step 3
Mark two lines on the middle of the plastic circle.
Step 4
Punch holes along lines using a push pin. That way it will be easier to make bigger and even holes.
Step 5
Make larger holes using small scissors.
Step 6
Bend an aluminum piece in half and insert both ends into the wholes on the plastic circle.
Step 7
Wrap the aluminum ends around the circle edges.
Step 8
Crochet a slightly bigger circle compare to the plastic circle for the cover.
Cut a piece of yarn and separate it in half to make the yarn twice thinner.
Create a short foundation chain, connect the first and last stitches together, and work single crochet until you shape a circle.
Step 9
Place the button beneath the crochet circle and begin to close up. Insert the hook into a second chain stitch from your hook, grab the yarn, and pull it through both stitches. Continue the process for few rounds.
Step 10
Cut the yarn and secure it.
