Step 1
Cut out circles which are a little bigger than the button.
Step 2
I hope it's understandable :/
Just make as much stitches as possible so the fabric embraces the button properly without folds.
Step 3
Afterwards you can add a felt circle with hot glue so it looks better ;)

Yes, you noticed it. This doesn't work as a button anymore now.
Step 4
...I used it for example as a ring :) just glued it on a ring base.

I'm also planning on bows, other hair accessories and stuff :)

This is a good idea. I wonder if maybe you just hot glue the fabric just over the edge and under the button, leaving the holes exposed, it can function as a button.
