Measure your joint circle and add 2 centimetres for it .Calculate how many buttons you need. (circle/weight)You need so many stave as many as the upshot-1. :) So, number of your staves: joint circle/button widht-1.

For example:circle=18cm, weight=2cm -->18:2-1=9-1=8 I need 8 buttons. You don't need as many as me.

After this you must choose your text.
