Thank you so much for all your thoughts - great input and discussion - but Peckish's comment is spot on for me and what prompted me to reach out to all of you. I actually sewed one on (and yes the thought passed my mind that I should have done that before I put it together) and it just did not look right to me, I kept trying to get the button to sit straight. When I think of that times 12 (lol - yes I am a bit ocd), I will be crazy!!
I am thinking I like option #4 so far. My concern originally was about gluing directly to the fabric but the odds are high that the two buttons, with a good glue, would bond together better than a button to fabric.
Peckish - what is this E-6000? Have you ever used it?
