Gina-B Silkworks | How to make a sunflower button / tutorial @GinaBSilkworks | Uploaded March 2022 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
This tutorial shows you how to make a thread button with a sunflower design. It is a variation of my Texas Yellow Star button design, and can be easily adapted to other flower types. Add a little pin at the back and it is perfect to wear to show support.
The button base is worked using a zwirnknopfe technique, with the flower petals created using needle weaving.
