Examples of Button People


Fold lengths of string in half. Start one leg by stringing bell at base of fold, continue stringing medium sized buttons for leg, one length through each hole (if using 4 hole buttons, string using only 2 of the holes). Repeat for other leg.

Take both ends of string from one leg and draw through one hole of large sized button to start the body. Take the two ends of the other leg and draw through the other hole of the large sized button. String on the rest of the large sized buttons to complete the body.

Using only one set of strings at a time (A+B and C+D in the exploded view below) start the arms. Using length A, string the small sized buttons using one of the holes, then string the shank button for the hand, then continue the string through the second hole to complete the arm. Repeat for the other arm using length D.

Make a neck if desired. Draw lengths AB through the hole of a medium sized button. Draw lengths CD through the other hole of the same button.

Push lengths AB and CD through first one half of head shape, then through second half to complete the head.

String length AB through hole of decorative button. String length CD through other hole of same button to complete hat.

Tie a knot using all lengths.
Leave a gap and tie another knot using all lengths. Using an open flame, tidy up ends of lengths to complete hanger.

Enjoy.
