Dorset buttons are generally made by stitching round a closed metal ring and we have several sizes of closed ring for button making. They are strong and smooth, perfect for making Dorset buttons, or any other craft requiring a closed ring. (Always wash Dorset buttons first before attaching to a garment or project, to ensure dye fastness). They are made from zinc alloy. Each ring is between 1 - 5mm across (the smaller ones are thinner, the larger ones are thicker). They have rounded edges. Please note the size is measured from outside edge to outside edge. We buy them in at a specific size but they can differ by as much as 1mm from the stated size. If you need exact perfectly presise measurement please contact us first. Please also take into account that the thread will increase the size of your button. PDF sizing chart for Beaker Button Rings
