I am planning to make my saber with a small black momentary switch (http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/SPST-Momentary-tactile-switch-P285.aspx)
but rather than have that somewhat unattractive black button coming out of the hilt, what are some things I could cap the switch with, to encase the button in something prettier?

I've used similar methods to DC. Basically put any sort of nut or similar item on a drill and spin it against some sand paper to shape it.
