They come in antique brass and nickel finishes, and are 11/16″ wide.

Flip fabric & hammer down

Flip over to the wrong side of the fabric again and hammer the back of the button all the way into the front.

It’s best to hammer the button on a hard surface like concrete. You can place a protective piece of fabric underneath to prevent the face of the button from getting damaged.
