BUTTON MASALA WORKSHOP
It is a simple joinery system, which replaces sewing from clothing or home furnishing. The technique involves only buttons and rubber bands. It is pretty much like the tie and dye technique but done with rubber bands. Button masala is a very quick construction method, possibly the cheapest in the world and the greenest for the environment. The technique is also used to make carpets, bags, jewelry, shoes, and many other useful products. It’s already been taught to almost 40000 people across the globe including Holland, Sweden, Spain, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Uganda, Denmark, Bangladesh, France, and India.
