steamfashion a while ago, button covers for corset busks! (clicky-link, rah rah rah!)
I think that's a brilliant idea. I very much want to make some for my own corset collection. And I just had an idea that is either completely foolish, or amazingly clever, you tell me: instead of soldering pins onto the backs of buttons that you've cut the shank off of, wouldn't the jewelry finding to make clip-back earrings work just as well? The flat bit would slip behind the busk loop, and then the "front" of the button would close over the entire post & loop. You know, the same sort of theory behind fancy button covers for shirts & blouses.
Why yes, I am going to be experimenting with this in the next few days. I'll report back on how well it worked.
