How to make a square fabric button - just fabric, needle & thread!


Happy new year! Can I still say this on the 19th of January? Of course I can!

I have actually uploaded two videos today - this one, which is a super easy way to make a square fabric button. Of course, being me, I also have to add other things to the basic video, including working a thread shank, adding a button back, and making the same button using finer threads.

The other is a product support video for out PaperLathe Tassel & Bead system.
We are moving this over to USB only, and our original Hints & Tips videos won't run from a USB. So I will be adding remakes to YouTube so that they can easily be found. 

We came up with the PaperLathe system when I became frustrated at not being able to find tassels moulds easily - yet I still wanted to learn how to make them. We now have a companion kit too - for tassels stands and new designs. Of course, these are available on our website at

I do hope that 2024 is a great year for you all!
