Attach a button making a flower.

Here's a great way to attach buttons to your project. You will need a four (4) hole button, thread - I use green to resemble the stem and leaves of a flower and a bead.

Align the button in the direction you want the flower. Stitch the stem and leaves coming out of the same bottom hole - add the bead to the top hole and you have a simple but fun flower!

Many thanks for this. I've enjoyed sewing some with French Knots instead of beads - I'll do beads next!
