How do you prevent the button from tilting? I am trying to make a pendant from a cool looking metal button I have but no matter what I do, it tilts. Please advise. Thanks.

You should use half hard wire . Soft wire will not keep that button from tilting. TI also recommend you hammer it - work harden- the wire so it stays that shape. Hope this helps.
