Materials

Coloured felt paper

Coloured buttons of different sizes

Bamboo sticks

Scissors, paper and marker

Method

First, choose the flower templates that you would like to use (a tip would be to 'google' for 'flower template'). After printing, cut the flower template.

Using the flower shapes as stencil, mark around the felt paper and go ahead and cut.

Make a selection or combination of felt flower cuttings and buttons and put aside.

To make flowers, insert string in the needle and make a knot.

Starting from the back, pull string in, going through the buttons and out around the stick and repeat process until the button are securely attached to the stick.
