Daiso has so many tools and supplies you didn't know you needed. If you're a crafter like me, look out for the hobbies, crafts, and sewing notions sections of these 100 yen shops. This is where I find lots of sewing and knitting essentials. The product is a kit for making fabric-covered buttons. The package includes 8 buttons and backings. The package includes a 38 mm template indicating the fabric allowance, a mold to hold the button, and a pusher. It's easy to use and the button backings stay firmly in place.

This Daiso fabric-covered button kit is easy to use. It produces sturdy buttons with backings that stay firmly in place. It's great value and the mold and pusher stand up to lots of use. Note that thick fabrics won't work with this kit. It works well with thin kimono scraps but brocade is too thick to fit under the edges of the backings. I managed to use a brocade fabric after stretching it as thin as possible. Pro tip - keep the package! I mistakenly threw away the tool because it's easy to mistake it for a stray PET bottle cap.
