Star Spangled Floral
Includes the 15 buttons shown in the photo. These hand-dyed and handmade clay buttons can be used to finish any needlework project. Free instructions are also included to complete the project shown, finished in a 3" embroidery hoop. You provide the fabric, floss and hoop.
The same buttons can be used to embellish Ewe Look Fabulous! pincushion as shown in the second photo. The pincushion pattern is found here. And the Flag Pini-Mini is sold solo here--and in several of the Pin-Mini assortments.
Tips and illustrations are included for adding embroidery stitches with pearl cotton #8 or 3 strands of embroidery floss. We love the hand-dyed pearl cotton from Weeks Dye Works and use it for all our models in the FOLKfloral series.
Note about the hoops:
We stock 3" hoops in their natural wood color. For this piece, we've stained the hoop. If you'd like to do the same, we recommend thinned acrylic paint.
ABOUT FOLKfloral buttons:
Add folk art whimsy to your needlework with FOLKfloral buttons. These hand-dyed buttons have 1, 2 or more holes to allow you to attach them to your work with decorative embroidery -- the buttons become part of your stitching.
Exclusively from Just Another Button Company, the new FOLKfloral collection includes a variety of shapes to suggest blooms, leaves and seed pods. You create flowers by embroidering simple stitches under, over and through the button. Pearl cotton #8 is perfect for the embroidery--we love the hand-dyed pearl cotton from Weeks Dye Works and use it for all our models.
The FOLKfloral buttons are made from nylon and permanently colored with professional dyes. You can wash the buttons, but do not touch with your iron.
