Gina-B Silkworks | Introducing Gina's Grantham Button© - original templates to create pretty basketweave buttons @GinaBSilkworks | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
In this video I'll introduce our latest button template kit - Gina's Grantham Button©!
Why "Grantham"?
Well, simply because we are based in Grantham, Lincolnshire, UK!
And, if you make these using the right colour of wool they do rather resemble the famous Grantham gingerbread... ;)

(see below for a link to a Grantham company who makes it)

An initial technique to create the basketweave was first published by Gina back in 2013. These unique templates bring that technique on, allowing the woven piece to be made on a reusable loom as opposed to being worked directly onto a button mould. This not only makes it easier, it means that many types of threads can be used and the pieces can be made into soft or hard buttons in many shapes.

And, coming soon, we'll have a booklet with variations to weave, work and create!

The kit is available on our website at
