Hi Katrina hope you and Dave are better today.God bless you and your family today and always.Thank you for sharing this.I will try making me some of these buttons.Have a blessed church service tonight.God bless.

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

Hi Jean, the smaller buttons 1- 1.5 inch work the best. This big one was more difficult and I thought I would never finish filling it in .

[@jeanhorne5893]

Ok thank you for sharing and letting me know the smaller one works best that’s the one I will try.Have a blessed evening and blessed rest of your week.

[@trduesing4117]

HEY KATRINA! THANK YOU FOR THE HISTORY LESSON AND TUTORIAL! I AM DEFINITELY GONNA MAKE THIS! I LIKE IT A LOT AND SPEAKING OF BUTTONS, I RECEIVED MY BUTTON FROM KNITCRATE AND ITS EXACTLY LIKE URS. OH AND YOUR RINGS ARE QUITE GORGEOUS!!!!

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

I'm glad you got your button. I'm turning mine into a pin. My rings are a mix match. The center stone is my original engagement ring. The 5 smaller stones Dave gave me for a 5 year anniversary, and the larger 5 for our 10 year. LOL We've been married for 38 years, if I continued stacking them up for every 5 years I'd need extra fingers. Anyway, the original setting was gold and after 35 years it was badly cracked and I was afraid I would lose some of the stones. So, my brother makes jewelry on the side (Aldrich Custom Crafts) and he re-set it for me in silver.

I found this video fascinating I would like to give it a try. Thanks for sharing.

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

Thanks for watching, Carol. I'm glad you found it helpful. The 1-1 1/2 inch are the easiest to work with.

[@quiltycrocheter9179]

Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial.

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

They are fun to do, but the smaller one are easier.

[@yarnchickenkim]

That was interesting. This would be a fun small project to do.

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

The smaller rings are definitely easier, though.

[@tinabrenning7233]

Thank you Katrina!

[@judymckinstry8130]

Fascinating! Thank you!

Wonderful, Thank You 😊

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

Glad you found it helpful.

[@SpringTheFiberEnthusiast]

Thank you 😊 ! Love me some history ❤️ very cool

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

I love history, too. Especially when it applies to the fiber world.

[@marybarratt1473]

I made these years ago but making the central hub was never too neat. Im making some more now and following your tutorial to see if age has improved my work lol I find it very relaxing. Tku

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

Glad I could help! I struggle with the center hub getting pulled off center, too. I've found that if I hold the center pinched together with my fingers while I secure it, it helps.

[@Pamperdpetals]

This was by far the easiest tutorial to follow along with. I was having issues with the rounding process but the way you explained it ,it was so clear. Thank you so much for helping me get through it correctly. 🥰

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching.

[@NatureAndOther]

Very interesting video ❤️ 👍

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

Thank you for watching.

[@lucystamp3597]

that was pretty amazing to learn and to see being created! thank you for doing this!

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

You're welcome, Lucy.

[@draadjelosjokeschuurman]

Thank you for this tutorial, I'll definitely try!

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

The smaller rings are definitely easier to work with. The big one took forever to fill in.

[@sophroniel]

I use fixed knitting markers. You can buy flat, plastic ones of lots of sizes and colours on places like aliexpress!

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

Great idea, thanks!

[@sharonopstbaum1023]

Loved this! I am imagining making Earrings out of the 1” and a pendant to match out of the 3.” I have a collection of perle cotton colors all ready to go. Thank you so much!

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

That is a GREAT idea! I'd love to see a pic when you make them.

[@anepictree]

Dear Katrina, thanks for this. Thanks for the history at the beginning, lots of research there! The finger demo was particularly good and made it clear. is there anything I should know to make the finishing off neat? How do you incorporate the original thread tail from the start. Thanks for any extra info. Regards, Peter from Paris France.

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

Hi Peter, thank you for watching. I wove my ends in using a embroidery needle. With smaller rings the woven portion is sturdy enough to use as a regular button. The big one that I used for the demonstration needs some kind of backing applied to make it sturdy enough to support a pin.

[@maggiequilts]

I can’t seem to get my hub in the centre! Any suggestions? Ty Hugs. Maggie. ❤️🤗🇨🇦❤️

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

Hi Maggie. That is the hard part. I found that if I pinched the center together with 2 fingers and held it in the center of the circle while I sewed it into place, it helped. The stitches filling in around the spokes also helps to pull it into place.

[@maggiequilts]

Thank you so much Katrina, I will try your suggestion, Meanwhile I have been doing the Tree Of Life buttons with your tutorial They are a lot of fun too 😍 Thanks again Your tutorials are fabulous Hugs Maggie. ❤️🤗🇨🇦❤️

[@trduesing4117]

What is your tip/trick to add a new thread?

[@katrinascreationscrafting]

I tied it on loosely and then catch it several times in the next few stiches so it kind of get woven in.
