This kit is ideal for beginners to learn passementerie - the art of making elaborate trimmings or edgings for clothing, furnishings or - in this case - buttons! If you're looking for a new skill, this makes a great option, at good value.

Buttons can be used to embellish and decorate as well as to fasten. This starter kit will enable you to make buttons in a variety of shapes and sizes. Natural beeswax is included.

Gina Barrett has been studying passementerie for more than 10 years, discovering how trimmings of the past were made and sourcing items which are no longer made, such as buttons moulds. This selection has been made in sizes and shapes which are useful for both traditional and modern use.
