Two-Hole Buttons!
Buttons are so much fun to design and create! My button passion goes back to 2003 and I am 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 available in my shop.
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 beadmaking skills.
I designed this tutorial for students who are unable to take a class with me personally. Goals for this tutorial:
Get comfortable with my Two-Hole Button Mandrel.
Learn to make a narrow touchdown for the center of a two-hole button.
Learn to melt the ridges in smoothly.
Learn Glass Beadmaking
