Not finding any great tutorials. But, take a look at these sites. You can see how they are mounted and head over to your craft or jewelry supply store and find the bits you will need. Hope it helps!

I would think if you could buy the link that goes through the button hole It might be as simple at attaching the key using epoxy glue.

E6000 is a great adhesive to attach the keys.
