Make Your Own Buttons! Homemade buttons are fun and easy. There are 22 different button designs in several different themes. The designs are quick and can be finished using a button making kit. These buttons will look great everywhere. Use them to bring life to a jacket, a sweater, or even a hat! Be creative and see what you can come up with! We also included 12 great designs that incorporate the buttons. Add a “blueberry” button to your lemonade, or carefully drop some “egg” buttons in the bird’s nest. These designs would look great on pillows, totes, or even framed on a wall! When choosing your threads and fabric for the buttons, make sure they fit in with the base design. Don’t forget we want them to stand out! Use the brighter colors in your palette to allow the buttons to pop off the pillow! HOMEMADE BUTTONS It’s Pillow Time! Speaking of pillows, we included step-by-step plans for making your own throw pillows using the base designs and buttons. These pillows are unique and special, and that’s even before the buttons are added. Button Up provides 12 designs to use on your projects, making it easy to find the perfect design that will suit any room in your home. The detailed instructions for putting your pillow together make this project as smooth as a glass of lemonade on a hot summer day. When deciding on the fabric for your pillow, feel free to think outside of the box. As embroiderers, we tend to use cotton in an array of colors. Let’s bust out of our cotton rut and consider all fabrics as options! What pillow is going to look best on your couch or bed? Fashion fabrics? Maybe denim? Or perhaps it is a cotton? We used Dupioni silk for ours, but it’s up to you! BUTTON UP | Full Collection | 122
