Death Head Buttons, the ultimate goth accessory.

Описание: I made these buttons to decorate a coat I had bought from a theatre sale, to make it look more historical despite it not actually being made for a particular era.
I adore making these thread wrapped buttons whether they are for use in 18th and early 19th century costume or as just a way of creating a contrasting or matching button for your own clothes.
There are lots of resources available for making these buttons including
a very brief history

DeVere Yarns, which I rabbit on about for about two minutes
