FYI: CRAFT SITE DIRECTORY

There's nothing I could add that would provide a better description of this site than the title...be prepared to spend more than a few minutes exploring.

TUTORIAL: DYING BUTTONS (RIT DYE)

No more searching and searching for buttons in a color that is an absolute necessity for your creation.  I don't know why you couldn't stick some white ribbon (or seam binding or lace) into the pot while you're at it...provided it's not something that would be laundered.  Stuff being laundered would have to be dyed according to the rules.
