Button Workshop /Knap kursus

I attended a button workshop a couple of weeks ago. This is the result:

Jeg deltog på et knapkursus for et par uger siden. Her er resultatet:

Buttons / Knapper

I wanted to try to make my own buttons because of my interest for both quilts and knitting. I would love to use buttons I have made myself.

Jeg ville gerne prøve at lave mine egne knapper pga. min interesse for både kvilt og strik. Jeg ville elske at bruge knapper, jeg selv har lavet.

The next 5 groups of buttons are shown together with the piece of lace that has been used for patterning the buttons.

De næste 5 grupper af knapper er vist sammen med det stykke blonde, der har været brugt til mønsteret på knapperne.  



Unfortunately the glaze has stopped one of the stitch holes but it might get a great brooch:

Uheldigvis stoppede glaceringen et af syhullerne, men det kan måske blive til en fin broche:

These were first patterned with hessian. Then patterned with the same stick I used to make the stitch holes with:

Disse blev først hessianmønstret. Derefter mønstret med den samme pind, jeg brugte til syhullerne:

Here I used a piece of corrugated cardboard:

Her er brugt et stykke bølgepap:

Most of my buttons were glazed with blue because lack of time. The grey buttons were supposed to be glazed black.

De fleste af knapperne blev glaseret med blåt pga. manglende tid. De grå knapper skulle have været sortglaserede.

    • Hi Wil
      The buttons are all made by me – except for the blue (my choice) glazing which the teacher did after the workshop. We didn’t have access to the glaze and an oven in the classroom and the clay also had to dry first.
      It is my first try with handmade buttons but I will surely try again.
