18th Century Death’s Head Buttons [CC]

A video about how to make death’s head buttons, with 4 different examples. They’re not as complicated as they look, I promise! Accompanying blog post: Timestamps 00:00 Intro 01:56 Supplies 02:57 Plain 1 colour button & sewing on 12:58 Large black & white buttons 20:22 Tiny brown & gold buttons 28:50 6 sectioned 4 colour buttons 33:57 Outro & spoopy Aesthetic muskrat Vanitas All the image sources and links (including places to buy button moulds) are in the blog post, so I won’t bother linking them here. The post also has more photos of buttons that I wasn’t sure about the copyright on, and I expand on some stuff I didn’t have time to say here. The extant coat button photos in the intro are from the collection of the Ross Thomson House and Store Museum in Nova Scotia. Blog post on sewing the black & white coat: https://vincentbrigg
