Velvet Covered Buttons

Plaid fabrics are #trending right now but sometimes it's difficult to make them look right for evening or special events. When I saw this picture on a French Chic Facebook page it gave me an idea.  "Back in the day" we used to cover buttons in matching or contrasting fabric when we sewed clothing ourselves. Hobby Lobby sells the type of button forms that you can cover yourself. I think it would be very pretty to dress up a plaid or checked dress or jacket by covering the buttons in velvet fabric. Adding a velvet bow made with wide ribbon would add a feminine touch as well. This is the link to view the button forms for DIY: https://www.hobbylobby.com/Fabric-Sewing/Sewing-Quilting-Notions/Fasteners/Aluminum-Half-Ball-Cover-Button/p/51243
