Having freedom to have the buttons to match my project is wonderful. Thank you for showing me how to do these lovely unique buttons.

Gina, thank you wo much for solving the mystery of what those buttons really are in my grandmother's sewing basket! I took them to a button show years ago and was told they were "fancy Dorset buttons"!

For those of you who are curious: Zwirnknöpfe just translates to thread buttons (Zwirn = thread, Knöpfe = buttons). Anyway, greetings from your resident German

Fantastic tutorial. On Pinterest , there are lots of examples using uneven sets of spokes such as a 5 sides star. How do we do that please
@GinaBSilkworks Жыл бұрын
Thank you! Odd numbers are more difficult, but basically you double up, and work the spokes for the doubled number. Then, when wrapping, you don't wrap all the spokes. I'll pop this onto my list for a video!

Thank you Gina for sharing your wonderful talents. Your videos are clear, concise and extremely informative and, best of all, interesting. With the price of buttons being so high, I’m hoping to make my own for my knitted garments. My question is: how should I launder the buttons? Is hand washing acceptable? Please advise. And thank you again for your marvellous videos. I’m subscribed and look forward to them. Also, I wish for you and your loved ones a Happy Christmas and peace, health and happiness in the coming New Year.

Thank you! Laundering depends on the material of the mould and the thread. I have washed (in the machine) buttons with plastic, brass and aluminium rings. Other button types, with wood, no, but fabric centres yes. I'd always recommend low temperatures, and usually not putting them into a drier, but I've done that too as trials... a gentle hand wash it a good way to go. Ring Buttons were originally designed to be washed, and were white used on white, on metal, but rustless, rings. Some detergents can affect the metals - brass going green for instance - but that's rare. And, don't use threads that might run. Merry Christmas to you and yours too

Where do you get your rings?
@GinaBSilkworks27 күн бұрын
We sell a very large range over on our website! But you can use just about any ring, so long as it is closed (jump rings that aren't joined aren't good). If you intend to wash the button, you'll need to use washable materials. www.ginabsilkworks.co.uk/buttons/button-moulds/rings

What time periods would these be appropriate for?
@GinaBSilkworks2 жыл бұрын
From what I have found so far, these are from about the mid 1800s - with a a machine advertised in 1911 which of course increased production, as part of the work could be done by machine.

these are amazing....i love them never seen them before !! where do youget the rings from ?
@GinaBSilkworks2 жыл бұрын
Thank you! Of course, we sell a selection of rings on our website, but you can use many different items! So think washers, closed jump rings, curtain rings - that sort of thing.

How do you keep the thread from sliding around on your ring? My thread keeps slipping off (and around, and just generally not staying in place).
@GinaBSilkworks4 жыл бұрын
If you are using a flat (washer-style) ring, and the thread slips, the chances are your tension is too tight. If you are wrapping tightly, the thread wants to pull down the curve of the ring. You can rub a bit of beeswax on the ring to make it a little tacky - this often helps. Also, if you are holding the centre of the button - not the edge - you may find that your fingers actually push the threads as you rotate. If you can try to hold along the edge, or only very gently when holding the centre, you may find they slip less. I hope this helps :)

If I use a larger button mould, for instance a 36mm one, would I make more than 10 divisions?
@GinaBSilkworks3 жыл бұрын
For this exact design, no. If you add more divisions, the second layer wrap may need to be adjusted you see. For instance on some you'll skip say, 5 on others you'll skip 7. Just play and create - you can have as many divisions as you like, just play with the second layer. And maybe add a third... :)
