Includes the 5 buttons shown in the photo. These hand-dyed and handmade clay buttons can be used to finish any needlework project. Free instructions are also included to complete the project shown, finished in a 3" embroidery hoop. You provide the fabric, floss and hoop. Tips and illustrations are included for adding embroidery stitches with pearl cotton #8 or 3 strands of embroidery floss. We love the hand-dyed pearl cotton from Weeks Dye Works and use it for all our models in the Folk Garden series. Note about the hoops: We stock 3" hoops in their natural wood color. For this Folk Garden series, we've stained the hoops. If you'd like to do the same, we recommend Americana Gel Wood Stain--color oak. You can tint the stain with dark olive paint for variety. ABOUT FOLKfloral buttons: Add folk art whimsy to your needlework with FOLKfloral buttons. These hand-dyed buttons have 1, 2 or more holes to allow you to attach them to your work with decorative embroidery -- the buttons become part of your stitching. Exclusively from Just Another Button Company, the new FOLKfloral collection includes a variety of shapes to suggest blooms, leaves and seed pods. You create flowers by embroidering simple stitches under, over and through the button. Pearl cotton #8 is perfect for the embroidery--we love the hand-dyed pearl cotton from Weeks Dye Works and use it for all our models. The FOLKfloral buttons are made from nylon and permanently colored with professional dyes. You can wash the buttons, but do not touch with your iron.
