Embellishments

Today's little diversion - buttons, felt and embroidery thread.


I saw something similar on Pinterest and couldn't resist having a go.

So I sorted through my button collection to find suitable buttons - ones with four holes, not two.


Narrowed down the candidates - a metal one, some shell ones and a few with a bit of colour.


I attached the button to the felt with a nice cross stitch and embroidered some petals.


Snipped round the outside and there you have it - I think this one looks like a sunflower.


They are so quick to make, I had three more completed in no time.




I think they would look good as brooches or they would make gorgeous embellishments on a birthday card. What do you think?
