Two-Hole Buttons!
Buttons are so much fun to design and create! Heather's button passion goes back to 2003. She is still on a mission to populate the world with contemporary glass buttons. Video included!
Note: The Trimlett Two-Hole Button Mandrels used in this tutorial are sold separately and available on arrowsprings.com. (scroll down to Trimlett Two Hole Button Mandrel).
Heather designed her Two-Hole Button tutorial for students who are unable to take a class with her personally.
Note from Heather: "Just imagine that you are in my studio for a private lesson. Here is your chance to "watch" me work, and have me "talk" you through the process of honing your buttonmaking skills."
