Button 24: Schaumburg Star w/Foil

Costume Buttons:  Schaumburg Star

w/foil

I used 1 1/5" button mould.

DMC coton perle #5

Colors 3347, 597 & 445

Foil?   Yes.   Foil.   I used a Hallmark envelope flap.

5/8" template - and cut a little piece.

  I understand, candy wrappers, 

craft foil, aluminum foil are used ... gives a shine to the center of the star.

Now the book suggests a foil circle; however, this shape worked for me. 

I think a smaller mold needed for next time - it needs

to look more like the one in the book ....

 

 

Button 23: Square (design)

Square button (from the outside inward).

I used 1.5" mould, DMC perle coton #5

colors 677 & 930

next ... Schaumburg star ...

I cannot thank you enough for checking my posts.  These buttons 

are so interesting - the variety, the colors, the unique creative art of buttonmaking.

 

Button 22: Square button (design)

Square Button - Laying rounds from the inside out.

I used DMC Coton Perle #5.

Colors 841 & 224, 930 & 223.

Button mould 1.5"

 

Button 19: Woven Diamond Button

Woven Diamond Button.

I used 1.5" button mold, DMC Coton Perle #5, Color 677.

These are both woven diamond buttons, using similar thread wraps.

Difference is the diamond on the left (yellow) has two vertical threads - and

the blue button has single vertical threads.

Woven Diamond Button

Yes, my thread wound buttons are in a plastic yarn ball!

So far, our kitty has been unable to play with them.

Woven Diamond Button.

I used DMC Coton Perle size 5, Color 928.

1.5" button mold.

 Still room in the yarn ball for more buttons.  I think the three button terms will yield around 100 buttons.
