* embroidered covered buttons
Posted on September 28th, 2005 by maitreya. Filed under Cross Stitch/Embroidery.
All the cute zakka sites have these great covered buttons, so I got a cheap Dritz kit at the craft store to give it a try. I was wandering around campus today, stepping on acorns, and I guess the thought stuck in my mind for the embroidering. Had a few abortive attempts at squirrels before switching to the leaf. I wish I’d gotten a good squirrel, though. I feel like squirrels.

I think it looks great with the acorn/leaf combo. Keep on working at the squirrel though, I’ll love to see that too! :)

I’ve been wanting to do this too. It looks wonderful!

I’m another one that’s been wanting to try it :D Yours came out great, such cute designs!
September 29th, 2005 at 8:50 am
yay! someone tried this! hoping you stirred up enough inspiration so that i’ll get to see these everywhere! your acorn is perfect! (imagine a squirrel would be very hard)

so adorable, I love the leaf and the acorn…maybe you can find an image of a squirrel and transfer it so it would be easier to embroider? I like what you did, though, they are so cute!

this is awesome! i, too, like the acorn/leaf combo…what talent you have!
September 29th, 2005 at 1:12 pm
those look great! good for you for adding yet another craft to your repertoire

Wow- great minds think alike. I have also bought some to do, But for hair slides rather than bobbles!
September 29th, 2005 at 5:03 pm
Oooh I love them !
September 29th, 2005 at 5:08 pm
Oh those are great! Thanks for sharing. :)
September 29th, 2005 at 7:10 pm
Those are perfect! They just scream fall!

Neat-o.
How well does the Dritz kit work? What step or steps of the process does it do? I imagine something to do with covering the button and securing the fabric, but maybe not? Will the fabric stay on for a long time?

I like these..what a wonderful idea!
October 1st, 2005 at 10:32 pm
Oh how cute! At first I thought it was stamped on instead of embroidered because you did such a great job! :)

Are those hair holders?! I didn’t know there was a kit to make those!!

Regardless of how adorable these are (and they are), I love that you placed them on a copy of McSweeney’s ;) What issue is it?

This is really adorable an an awesome idea. I’ve only just recently decided to try my hand at embroidery. This idea inspires me!
