German Button Class Session 4

This is session 5 of the button class using the book "Posamentenknöpfe" ISBN 978-3-934113-13-8. The entire book is in German. The title translates to trimming buttons. As part of the learning process, there was a whole new lingo to learn.

For this session: 

Tour is the set(s) of wraps - so 2 tours is generally a cross shape.

Gimlet is a button tool used to hold the button in place while wrapping.


Top Row:
Square button - no gimlet - inside to out
Square button using gimlet - outside to in
Bottom Row:
Schaumburg star with foil
Schwalm woven star

Weaving those corners

Weaving the corner - step 2

Starting the outside to in - not using the gimlet

Starting the outside to in - not using the gimlet

Another picture of the foil button - just regular old aluminum foil in there beneath the blue and white tours.
