We think of buttons as purely functional, a way to secure a shirt or jacket. While we may spend time searching out the perfecto button for a blouse we've sewn or a sweater we've knit, we rarely consider making a button for that garment. In this class you'll use yarn and simple stitching/weaving techniques on the base of a homemade template to creat a unique button. Then you'll turn your 2 dimensional yarn work into a 3 dimensional button! Once you've mastered the basics, you can make buttons of varying sizes, using yarns of different thicknesses, and adding beads or other bling as you choose. In addition to being functional, you can use your buttons to decorate the brim of a hat, add a special touch to an accent pillow, finish a tote bag and more.
