Making Buttons

[laurellanestudios]

Is there a special tool to make buttons (as in, buttons on a shirt)? Are buttons difficult to make?

Thanks.

I use a "button" mandrel to make a 2 hole shirt or sweater button. You can find them on our website www.dawnandevan.com/tools.htm. I also have a tutorial up on them as well. You can find the video tutorials page at http://www.dawnandevan.com/tutorials.htmthen select the "Studio Tour and Lampwork buttons tutorial".

Let me know what you think of the tutorial.

Thanks, Evan. I did look at the tutorial and it was great. Thanks for sharing.

I think I'll give button-making a try!
