🎥 How to tie on an upholstery button

In this quick how-to video, Antonia from Mollies Make & Create demonstrates the upholsterer’s slipknot—a clever knot that tightens as you slip it! This technique is perfect for tying on buttons to soft surfaces, securing twine for spring-tying, or even trussing a chicken (yes, really!).

All you need is a long button needle or a double-ended upholsterer’s needle, scissors, a shanked button, and tufting twine. Watch the video below to see how it’s done, and give it a go yourself!
