Christmas Dorset Button Angel – ‘How To Make’

Here’s the first in a new ‘How To Make’ Series sharing traditional techniques – textile workshops from the comfort of your own home. Learn how to make a Christmas ‘Dorset Button’ Angel & Tree and a ‘Handmade Cord’ to display them with.

Each YouTube comes with full instructions & requirements/materials lists.

There’s still time to make some before Christmas. Please share your work with the hashtag #arnoldsatticworkshops so I can see your beautiful creations.

You can see how to make a classic Dorset button in previous post.
