Deathhead Button Mini Kit – Thread Wrapped Button Making

Discover the traditional craft of thread wrapped button making with this Deathhead Button Mini Kit, a simple and affordable way to have a go at making your own Deathhead buttons.

The kit contains the essentials you need to get started, including 20 wooden button moulds in assorted sizes, mending wool, beeswax, a tapestry needle, bamboo stick and step-by-step instructions.

Unlike the larger button making kits supplied in tins, this mini version keeps things deliberately simple. There are no extras and no tin, just the materials and tools needed to learn the technique. This helps keep the cost down while still giving you everything required to start making.

Deathhead buttons are a traditional form of thread wrapped button, created by wrapping thread around a button mould. Once you have learnt the technique, experiment with different threads and colours from your own stash to create buttons for sewing, textile crafts and decorative projects.

This Deathhead Button Mini Kit comes in plastic-free paper packaging and is available only as a small limited batch. No more than 12 kits will be available, so once they have gone, they have gone. For this reason, I have limited the purchase of this kit at one per order.
