I can see any of them (especially the first one) in a row down the front of a white silk blouse …. white pearl cotton with a mix of white and clear beads. Very stylish. I would need to sew on with fishing line so none were lost! Can I ask where your accent is from. I cannot place it.
The white with white sounds perfect, especially smaller buttons on a work blouse. Just a bit of extra sparkle! Accent- American born, but been in England since childhood. So it's a mix of allsorts!
For this I used basic 11/0 seed beads. For a really nice finish, the more expensive brands - that have all matched sized beads - works best, but these were just basic, so slight size differences.
The easiest thing to do is to back it with a piece of felt sewn on. Some people glue felt to the back, I prefer little stitches. If making a brooch, the pin can be sewn to the felt first for a neat finish. You could use any soft fabric.
Thank You! I can now work on my bead stash.
You are so welcome!

@@GinaBSilkworks thank you
If the button will be used in jewelry, how should the back be finished/covered as it will be against the skin? Thank you

Here's an older video of mine showing a lot of different back finishes - ua-cam.com/video/Vi8_7DP0irU/v-deo.html
