Not only is the pop tab button a great quick fix, but I think it would look really cute for kids and teens projects like cuffs or small

Have you ever used a pop tab as a button? Do you have your own missing button “quick fix” technique? I am looking forward to using pop tab buttons in future craft projects, and I would love to hear about or see pictures of any of your projects using
these nifty little objects!
