making buttons

looking at the shop, i could not find any buttons that were thin enough to put under a shirt, so i needed to make my own button.
i was thinking of curving a piece of  bendy plastic or metal and putting a wire on top and one on the button so when you press it, the two wires touch.
my button at the moment uses a square of cardboard with a small piece of spring glued down to touch the two wires together, with another piece of cardboard on top to cover it, which is very simple and effective.

now i just need to make a few more buttons.
