Button, Button, Who Has The Button, Napkin Craft

You know that little jar you have filled with odd buttons, well here’s a way to use them. It only takes a few stray buttons and some embroidery floss to make these cute napkins.

button napkin craft katherines corner
What You Need
Buttons, embroidery floss, thread (in the color of the fruit you want to create)
Standard sewing needle
Embroidery needle
Fabric napkins
Embroidery hoop (optional)
Fabric pen

Lets Make Them! Lay out your design on the napkin, arranging the buttons in place (mark with a disappearing-ink fabric pen if necessary), then sew on the first button, using matching thread. (For easier stitching, you may want to use an embroidery hoop.) Sew on the remaining buttons. Using the disappearing-ink fabric pen, lightly mark out the leaf or stem of the fruit or vegetable. Stitch along the pen marks, using embroidery floss and a classic chain stitch or a stem stitch. To make a stem stitch (which works well for stems), working from left to right, make standard, slightly slanted stitches along the line, keeping the thread below the needle. For leaves, use a satin stitch, making straight (not slanted) stitches, each touching the next, across the width of the leaf. That’s it! Ta Daa

    HI!!!
    I sooooLOVE LOVE those!!!!
    let me tell you my button story!!!!I have collected buttons for years, you know all those extra buttons attached to all the clothes you buy, well I would put them in the bathroom drawer in a little box, and then one day they went into a jar, well my Granddaughter found that jar and knowing that was an unsafe thing for her to like I hid them well hid so well, I cannot find them, every now and then I go on a button search, and I just cannot find them, I am a NEAT NICK, so they are not hid by clutter, I just flat out hid them well, I am thinking in my gut, some where high and I just cannot see them!!!!But if and when or I may go buy some –so I can make those!!!!
    Cute!!!!
    hugs,
    jamie
