I just finished some sample covered buttons and snaps. The project turned out to more simple than expected and the look well worth the effort. For the snaps, I used backcut up tights hoping that the hole would not run. I am not sure a woven would look as nice. Tights come in on almost every color so I think that is the way to go. For the buttons, I followed the directions on the package. One piece of fabric was interfaced with a very lightweight fusible knit interfacing and the other one was made without a lining. The interfaced button looks nicer because the color is not dulled by the metal of the button back and more closely matches the original fabric.
