I know I came across a couple of *very* good directions on websites for 1800s frog closures a few years back. Unfortunately... wrong computer... and until I get a new computer, no access to the links I had. And I haven't made any myself in over 9 years, so can't remember the ins and outs.

If you want, I can check to see if anyone else on h-costume still has a bookmark for any of them.
