You Will Need (4 things)

  • Button(s)
  • Ribbon
  • Super duper Adhesive glue
  • Some sewing Thread and needles

Steps (9 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut 4 pieces of ribbon, each measuring about 7cm.

  2. 2

    Using one of the ribbon, fold the 2 ends of the ribbon towards the centre as shown in the picture. Glue or sew the ribbon in place.

  3. 3

    Repeat Step 2 with 2 other ribbon and place them to form an asterisk (*) sign as shown. Glue/Sew them in place.

  4. 4

    Place the asterisk on top of the last ribbon and then its 2 ends towards the centre again to create the ribbon flower as shown in the picture.

  5. 5

    Glue/Sew the ribbons in place.

  6. 6

    Try to match different buttons with the ribbon used to create a desired look. Play around the buttons by stacking them on top of one another to create different looks.

  7. 7

    (This look was created by placing a pink heart scrapbook embellishment on top of a slightly bigger button of a complement colour)

  8. 8

    Glue them on a brooch pin/ hair pin/ hair band and then wear them with pride!

  9. 9

    Try it with different ribbons and buttons! I also made another one using the fabric button that I made several days ago
