How to Make a Loop Closure With a Button for a Tote Bag
Only one button is required to make a button and loop closure for a tote bag, and unusual buttons can be found in antique stores. Show your fancy side by using an antique rhinestone button from an old evening suit.
Things You’ll Need:
1/4-inch-wide cord, 1/8-yard fabric, and thread; if you want to use a button without a shank, add a thread shank to your cord. Make a cord from the same fabric as the bag.
Warnings:
If your button’s shank is less than 1/4 inch long, use thinner cord or replace it with a 1/2-inch thread shank.
