More Flowers - from lisaspace.com

This super easy tutorial has so many possibilities. If you don’t have access to a sewing pattern you could substitute it with coffee filters, old book pages, vintage sheet music, wallpaper or patterned paper. If you create one I hope you share your finished project. I would love to see how you use this flower. I think it would look great as a sweet pin for a hat or bag or as an embellishment for a card, layout or project. Such fun. Enjoy!

Layered sewing pattern and sewing instructions

  • Using a sewing needle and embroidery floss attach your button. To add a little interest to your button sew a small bead to cover each button hole.To acheive this look bring your needle up through the button hole, place a bead onto your needle then go back down the same button hole. Repeat this in the next button hole.

Accented Button Holes
