Fabric Flower and Fabric Button

Just a short entry. Today I'm going to show you the kanzashi flower I made last night. This is a fabric flower with fabric button. It was my first trial, so there's few more rooms for improvement...hehhehe... Anyway, the first lesson I've learnt was to choose the correct type of fabric. I think it's best to use medium to heavy fabric (not too heavy though - heavy cotton shud do), or felt, as long as not too 'soft' otherwise, the flower won't turn out that nice... The other option is either to 'starch' the fabric first or by using interfacing if you want to use the lighter fabric. So enjoy 'washing your eyes' (cuci mata...) hehehhehe...

Ignore the irregularities...hehhehe

By the way, I also wanted to show you the hair clip I made last weekend.

Errkk... since when does this tree have flowers?

I managed to 'make' some fabric buttons available for sales... Here are some of the collections. Many more are coming....

 Few ready stocks are available for each 'pattern'.

Exclusive Collection

 Limited stock for each pattern, depends on the availability of the fabric, because it only used certain part of fabric only.

Unique Collection

 The fabric is taken at random and yet selected part to create the unique pattern. Can request for similar pattern, but won't be 100% the same, and also depends on the availability of the fabric.

Plain Collection

Other colours also available. Please do not hesitate to ask for the available colours.

These fabric buttons are also available in brooch form. If you're interested, please feel free to fill in the order form or email me., and indicate whether u want it as button itself or as brooch.

DIY - Fabric Button Brooch

Ok, today I'm going to show you how to turn the fabric button into brooch... Some of you might know how to do it already, but it's ok, I still want to share it with you....heheheheh

First of all I want to show you the different outcomes of these fabric buttons from using the press machine or done manually/using tool kit. Blue Button (BB) was by press machine while Red Button (RB) was done by manual kit.

Front view, notice BB is flattened

Can you see the 'grip' effect on BB?

When using the press machine, the button is nicely attached while if you're using manually it won't fit nicely and you have to use stronghold glue to help the bottom hold to it's cap. Anyhow, either way don't let it stop you from making the masterpiece of your own.....heheheh..

Ok now, let's go to the tutorial.. It simply straight forward, so if you have any question please do not hesitate to let me know, ok....

Plastic bottom

 The good thing that this bottom cap is made from plastic is because you can have the shank removed if you don't want it.

Remove the shank

 Please ensure you use both hands while removing the shank... I didn't have cameraperson available so had to pose with one hand....hehhehehe

After the removal of the shank

 Trim any sharp and unneccessary edges.

Putting the glue

 You can use any stronghold glue or hot glue and put it on the pin brooch cap. If you're using the hot glue, be careful that the brooch cap might get hot.

Attached firmly

 Attached it to the fabric button and press firmly and you're done.. Clean off any glue residue..

Done!!!

Front View

Pretty easy yeah? Excited to try it on but don't know where to find the fabric button? Don't worry, I'll be coming out with ready to use fabric buttons soon, so stay tune....

Love & Regards
