Ok I've seen three videos and I'm mesmerized! So I've subscribed. I will now begin telling myself that this really doesn't count as a new craft because I have everything but the rings! Oh and I already know embroidery stitches! Now I need rings!!

Thanks for subscribing - I do like your thinking "if I've got it, it isn't a new craft". 😉 you can use curtain rings, closed jump rings, washers... I bet you've something about that can work!

What a sweet button with lots of potential for color experiment. And a good explanation of how to make the base wrapping - that "hump' when one wraps side by side all the way around is annoying. Thank you. Charlotte in California

I only recently discovered your channel and I love this craft. I wonder if you could cover the buttons with a polyurethane or something like this to ensure the button did not come apart. I want to make buttons for a sweater I will be knitting and I don't want the buttons to be able to suffer any damage of any kind.
@GinaBSilkworks10 ай бұрын
You can, but it will change the look of the button quite considerably, and not always with good effect. Originally ring buttons were designed to withstand not only washing, but also being put through a mangle, as they were white buttons intended for shirts and undergarments. Some buttons types are better than others in every day use. You need to ensure the materials are washable if you wish to wash the button (don't use wood or cardboard). Make sure that the threads used are also washable (making a Dorset for instance using the yarn you are knitting with, over a metal ring). And most importantly, make sure that your threads are secured well. Loose threads can come away with handling, and modern washing machines can be quite harsh. You can also add a fabric back. This helps to cover your working stitches, but also can give added protection.

Hi Gina, thanks for the lovely tutorial. Can you tell me what size needle you used? Thank you.
@GinaBSilkworks10 ай бұрын
Thank you! Usually with perle cotton I default to a size 22 tapestry. But I will also just grab whatever works - needle size isn't as crucial for most button making as it can be sewing, just that it holds the thread you are using. (which is why I use a long darner often now that my fingers are a wee bit arthritic )

A lovely tutorial,thank you. I was just wondering if you cover the backs of the finished buttons to hide the threads?
@GinaBSilkworks2 жыл бұрын
Thank you! It depends. If for something 18th century or before, then usually no, as they did not tend to be covered. Anything else, it depends on the end use. I might work a thread back (spiralled threads) to cover fabric, or add a piece of felt or fabric. Some I will leave 'as is'.

Thank you! Yes, that would be the most common way. The large vintage one I have actually has an old safety pin on the back so that it could be worn as a brooch.
