Star designs are some of the most popular in the history of passementerie buttons. In this book, Gina Barrett shows you how to make a variety of beautiful buttons using traditional techniques.

This book focuses on passementerie star buttons. These stars are created using thread-wrapping techniques - many of which incorporate weaving and additional needlework. It should be noted that no ring buttons are included in this edition, nor are those that use needlework only or primarily to create the stars
