Attaching:

Take the white button and lay it on top of the black button.  With your tapestry needle or yarn needle and the tail of white yarn.  Sew the white button onto the black button.  When sewing just focus on the inside of the button attaching.  Do Not sew around the outer part of the white button.  We want the sides of the white to be able to flip up to create that 3D effect.  Tie knot on the back side of the black button.  Cut off any long pieces.

Take the black tail and the yarn needle.  Place the button onto the ball covering up the color change knots.  Again, sew on the inside of the black.  Do Not sew AROUND the edge.  We want the edge to be able to flap up and down to create that 3D effect.  Tie knot on the underside of the black button the hide the knot.
