Thank you. I am so pleased that you like them :) They are made by wrapping embroidery threads around a wooden base but the pattern depends on the way you wrap them. I learned how to make them from Gina-B Silkworks (ginabsilkworks.co.uk). She has an online course, DVDs and kits that teach you how to make them. They are great fun to make, useful in so many crafts and totally addictive.
I like your crafting very much.Are they a kind of dorcet buttons? I tried to find any tutorial But couldn't. Fortunately I found your blog and knew them as being passementerie buttons)))
Thank you for your kind words, Nata. These buttons are a variety of different styles of buttons called 'Leek buttons'. Most of these buttons are variations on the classic Deaths Head button and a Star Wrap button. If you are interested in finding out more about them then I would recommend www.ginabsilkworks.co.uk. Gina has excellent DVDs, a book and an online courses on making these kinds of buttons. I learned to make these buttons using her DVDs and book so I would highly recommend them. She even has a free tutorial on making the Death's Head button (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KURwwOU9Ffs). I hope that helps. They are really easy to make once you know how.
