I guess I should take some pictures...

Anyway, I had posted elsewhere that I made some ultra-cheap button fixtures to hold my PC buttons flat on my jacket...

A washer made of posterboard, and a cotter pin made from a paper clip...

Just make some buttonholes, sew the edges, and affix the buttons from the inside..

Didn't catch on my clothes at all and the buttons stay put very well. Nice thing is I can remove them from this jacket, wash the jacket sans buttons, use them on a different jacket, change button sizes... all kinds of possibilities...

A word from one supplier of buttons said that many people use little brass cotter pins that you can buy at Ace or other Hardware places....

I will post pictures once I find a place to host them.....
