HELP!!!!

I was on track to finish February's piece but ran into "technical" difficulties. I want to add a shank button to my piece. I do not want to anchor it with beads like you would a cabochon because the edge of the button has some wonderful detail. I also have some hesitation in putting a hole in the fabric to let the shank rest under the piece. I have thought about removing the shank but then how would I attach it to the fabric? Is there a glue that would hold the button to the fabric?

Any info would be appreciated.

About the Bead Journal Project

The brain child of Robin Atkins, the first Bead Journal Project, which began in June of 2007, included 241 women and 1 man who were dedicated and committed to creating 12 bead journal pages, one per month, for a year.

The BJP is all about visual journaling using any media and techniques, providing it includes some beading. We are free to structure our bead journal pages any way we want, as long as all 12 are the same size.

The current years' Bead Journal Project runs from January 2011 through December 2011. This blog is a means by which we may support each other in process, techniques and design. Participants (many with links to their personal blogs or websites) are listed below.
