I have loved fabric covered buttons since I was a teenager. It’s so satisfying to get the perfect fabric wrapped smooth and tight to make the little button, but I am always losing the kits I need to make them. Every time I make a button I have to rebuy the kit, and in all the different sizes, that gets to be a bit of a pain in the neck. When I was at CHA back in January I met the guys from Imaginisce, and asked them to send me some things to play with. They came through with a whole bunch of fun.
This is the i-top. And like all perfect tools it makes you scratch your head and wonder why nobody’s done this before. You can use this tool to make buttons, brads, snaps, and magnets, and they have a whole line of accessories to apply all those creations to. The bracelet I’m wearing above and the earrings I’m wearing below all came from that collection.
I really loved the quality of their notions. These are really sturdy little buttons. These won’t be popping apart on my any time soon.
To use, just cut a circle of fabric big enough to wrap around your button, and place it inside the tool.
Then put in the top of the button and press the fabric ends inside.
Place the button bottom on top, and give the whole thing a squeeze.
Perfect buttons every time, no wrinkles or bubbles, and I cranked these out in no time flat with no banging or straining or swearing.
Their jewelry collection is so sweet. They use crazy strong magnets to make them interchangeable. I might just have to make enough of these to go with every outfit.
Disclaimer: These products were given to me for free, but I was not otherwise compensated. I asked for them because I wanted to work with them. I never promote a company I don’t use myself.
What a great idea for a bracelet! You are way to smart for your own good! Love it! 🙂
Tresa, your shots are so luscious!
You make it look as easy as it is, thanks!

I have been using this tool but I keep getting creases and bumps around the edges of my buttons. I use the buttons that imaginisce make with this tool, but still I can't get rid of the gross creases. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Have you tried giving the fabric a good tug after putting the top of the button into the machine? I found this straightened everything out for me. I also tucked the sides in the way I wanted them before putting the bottom of the button in place. But then, I'm super fussy about a smooth button.Sent from my iPhone

The hanging fabric fabric earring, the has a shank on top to put the hanging thing in the shank. I usaully order flat backs for my earrings. But what is the hanging top shank backs called??????
Waking up each day with a pain in the neck is an awful feeling. Not only does a kink inside the neck make it hard to move, sending stabbing pains down the arms or back, it's the reason for headaches, ranging from dull to migraine level. Morning neck pain can last throughout the day, and can even be the reason for back aches, sciatica, arm and leg numbness, and also usually leaves people feeling irritable and tired.
Awesome post.
