Buttons became jewellery — and therefore works of art — back in the eighteenth century, when they were worn as a mark of distinction.

You will embroider your buttons with Swarovski crystals, bugles, seed beads or semi-precious stones — agate, onyx, pearls — depending on the design you choose.

You will be surprised by what it does to a garment. Embroidered buttons give your pieces a personal, haute couture finish.

In this masterclass I show you how to embroider them, and you take home a kit with everything you need to make more.

No previous embroidery experience is needed. The kit includes step-by-step instructions so you can keep making them on your own.
