Button Blossoms

Total Time 1 hour
Ages school-age
A posy of pinwheeling blooms turns a plain tee into a wearable garden. Each flower is fashioned from looped ribbon and fastened with a button. It's a great project for a rainy afternoon -- and the perfect shirt for a sunny one.
What you'll need
- 20-inch lengths of ribbon (we used 5/8-inch-wide grosgrain)
- Needle and thread
- Buttons
- T-shirt or tank
How to make it
To make each flower, form six 1 1/2-inch loops in the ribbon as shown.
Sew a few stitches through the flower's center to secure the loops.
Place the flower on the T-shirt. Attach it by sewing a button in the center of the flower, running the thread through both the flower and the shirt. Repeat the process to add more flowers.
