These button techniques are listed as challenging and the fiber strands run in opposite directions and meet in some areas. Death's Head sounds like a terrible name for such a lovely button that has a cross type motif as the centerpiece. Teneriffe Buttons are elaborate in appearance and Sun Lace, Ferris Wheel and Darned-Net are the projects you can make. Braid Buttons with the Ring Braid Button and Soutache Rings offer very easy to make buttons. The soutache rings include the Single Ring, Stacked Ring and Double Ring .
Soutache fiber makes the pattern stand out and adds firm ridges to the design.
They are all listed as easy with the exception of Morning and Evening Stars which are considered moderate. The star patterns could have beads in the centers for contrast. The Diamond in a Square and Crossroads are two I really like and both area easy. I guess I will have to try making these two buttons. Knotted Buttons look like beads and you could make a necklace with the knotted buttons as beads.
