Help with button beads

[Lizabeads]

I want to make button beads and want to know what is the best press and all ????? HELP !!

Actually, I just make a base bead and then add a glob of glass to one side of the bead. Then, I use a lentil or orrb press to shape the glob into a "buttony" shape. :) You could also use a marble mold too (really anything with a dome shape to it). :)

Here's a picture of a button I made using an orrb press:
