    Hello All,

    I'm proud to announce that I just made a nice, period-appropriate Mongolian del
    complete with trim and all. I have just one thing holding me back from fully making it wearable: the "buttons." I'm not quite sure how to go about making them or what sorts of materials to use.

    Can anyone out there give me an idea of how I might make the "buttons" for a del? Also, how many do you recommend using?

    Many thanks.

    Original Mongolian deel button should sphere shaped and made from silk or satin material. My mum showed my how to make it, but now I cant remember once she returned homeland. I need to find out teaching book on that. Any help?

    Cheers,
    Nadia
