hi and welcome to christinescrafts.com
0:03
today i'm going to show you how to zone
0:04
a button but we're going to show you
0:07
so remember to subscribe below hit the
0:10
and let's get started okay so i'm going
0:14
to show you three different kinds of
0:16
so the first one we've got is one with a
0:18
shank on the back which just means a
0:20
little loop on the back
0:21
and i'll be showing you how to sew that
0:23
on a button with two holes in it
0:26
or a button with four holes in it now
0:28
i'm using giant buttons and contrasting
0:31
obviously you'll be using whatever
0:33
button you need and presumably a
0:37
so the first thing we're going to do is
0:41
and put a knot in the end this will just
0:43
help it to stay secure
0:45
and not pull through your yarn it's all
0:46
through your fabric sorry
0:49
so from the right side put your needle
0:52
out again just making a little stitch
0:56
and that's just to get us started get us
0:58
anchored on the thread
0:59
you can always do a couple of stitches i
1:03
now go through the shank and then
1:06
repeat the first stitch you did very
1:08
close to it doesn't have to be in
1:09
exactly the same place but nice and
1:13
pull it through and there you go your
1:17
but not very secure so
1:20
through the shank again
1:26
through the fabric again and you'll see
1:28
i just keep repeating those stitches in
1:30
a very similar position
1:32
just so it's nice and tidy down there
1:35
you can do this as many times as you
1:39
you can put lots to keep it nice and
1:41
secure just keep going through the shank
1:43
going through the fabric i'm not going
1:45
to do too many times here because
1:47
obviously you're watching
1:49
but once you're happy that it's all
1:54
you're going to do a little stitch
1:57
into your fabric under there where it's
2:01
and then before you pull it tight you're
2:03
going to put your needle through the
2:05
to form a little knot to secure your
2:10
i recommend repeating that
2:14
so you've got two little knots there
2:17
and you can cut off your thread and your
2:20
button with a shank is sewn on
2:23
and should stay nice and secure
2:27
so let's move on the next one we're
2:30
is the one with two holes in it now it's
2:33
unlikely your two holes are that big
2:35
but the same principle applies put a
2:39
into your fabric and then come up from
2:43
through your button your button may have
2:47
so just be careful then go back through
2:52
and then a little stitch in the fabric
2:56
pull everything tight
3:01
and then you're going to go back up
3:03
through that first hole
3:06
back down through the second hole
3:11
little stitch in the fabric
3:18
all the while keep pulling it tight so
3:20
you don't end up with lots of big loops
3:24
back up through the first hole
3:29
down through the second hole now you can
3:32
times as you like i tend to do quite a
3:33
few to make sure mine's really secure
3:37
in this case i'm not going to do too
3:40
you're watching don't want to get bored
3:44
just keep going up through that hole
3:47
down through the other one once you're
3:50
happy you've done enough
3:52
if you want to raise the button off the
3:54
fabric slightly which is very common
3:57
just take your yarn and wrap it around
4:00
the threads behind the button
4:02
perhaps three times probably enough pull
4:06
and then you're going to do a little
4:08
stitch under the button
4:10
so it'd be nicely hidden and before you
4:14
through you're going to put your needle
4:17
through that loop you can see mine's all
4:22
just undo it make sure you've got a
4:28
just to be sure another little stitch
4:35
and another little knot
4:39
and then you can cut off your yarn and
4:42
you've successfully sewn your button on
4:44
the wrapping the yarn round to give it a
4:46
little shank is optional
4:48
it's entirely up to you so we're going
4:52
to our final one which is our button
4:55
with four holes in it
4:57
so we'll start the same as the others we
4:58
have a knot in our thread
5:00
and we just do a little stitch into the
5:07
and then we're going to bring our needle
5:10
through one of the holes in the button
5:13
and then go back down diagonally
5:18
it's not the only way of doing a four
5:20
hole button but it's the way we're going
5:25
another little stitch
5:31
pull it tight make sure everything's
5:35
and then we're coming back up through
5:37
the same hole we started with
5:40
back down the one diagonally opposite
5:43
you can do this as many times as you
5:45
think it needs it okay
5:47
doesn't matter how many times i show you
5:48
you do as many of these
5:50
as you think you need
5:53
and once you're happy with it you're
5:55
going to do the same thing
5:57
with the other pair of holes so you come
6:00
up one of the other holes and down the
6:04
diagonally opposite one
6:06
so what's going to happen is your
6:07
stitches are going to be crossed over so
6:09
you're forming a cross on the top of
6:13
a little stitch underneath
6:18
then we're going to go back up through
6:20
the hole we just came
6:22
up last time and back down again
6:26
again repeat for as many times as you
6:28
feel you want to put on your button
6:31
and when you've finished it's up to you
6:34
do your little stitch it's up to you
6:36
whether you do the wrapping of the yarn
6:40
or whether you just want to be finished
6:43
so assuming you want to do your wrapping
6:46
make sure everything's tight
6:49
wrap it around as i say i'm going to do
6:56
and then feed your needle
7:00
through to make a little stitch so that
7:03
knot your thread to keep it secure so
7:06
before the loop pulls through
7:09
put your needle through pull it tight
7:13
repeat again just to be sure that it's
7:16
not going to pull through
7:18
so a little stitch and then put the
7:21
needle through the loop
7:22
pull it tight you can cut it off
7:25
and that'll be your button fastened on
7:29
successfully so now you can sew on any
7:31
button you like one with a shank one
7:33
with two holes or one with four holes
7:36
so i hope you've enjoyed the video good
