I’m a sewer and I love making special outfits for my kids and once they are almost done, I always want the perfect buttons for my creations. For this purpose I love fabric covered buttons and making them more special with a little cross stitching is even better!

Time required: 20 minutes
Difficulty level: Moderate

Things you’ll need:
Burlap fabric
Covered button kit
Embroidery thread
Embroidery needle
Scissors

Things to do:
1. Using the template from your button cover kit, plan out how large your cross stitch can be.

2. Thread your needle and stitch the shape you want onto the fabric.

3. Cut the fabric into a circle using the template.

4. Assemble the button as per the instructions on the kit. Optionally you can add a piece of solid colored fabric under the burlap to create a backdrop to the burlap before you assemble the button.
