Re: Period Buttons information request



One method of making period buttons is to wrap a bead with fabric, making a
button shank by tightly wrapping the loose ends of the fabric with stout
thread.  You can also wrap a bead with thread, and then weave designs into
that wrap.  Grace Gamble has some much-too-spiffy buttons made that way.  If
you use that method, make a "topknot" on the bead/button after wrapping it.
 These buttons are from Janet Arnold's Elizabethan costuming book.
