Materials Needed
- knit scarf
- buttons
- embroidery floss (same color as buttons)
- embroidery needle
Arrange Buttons
Arrange buttons into your desired design on a flat work surface, comparing design to width of scarf to make sure it will fit.
Sew Buttons to Scarf
Cut a length of floss about 12-18" long and section out two threads. Thread a length of embroidery floss onto needle. Pull needle through scarf and button, allowing end of thread to remain on back of scarf. Insert needle through second buttonhole (Image 1) and tie two ends behind scarf (Image 2). Repeat with other buttonholes until button is secured. Knot and trim thread. Repeat with other buttons, arranging in pattern to shape each letter (Image 3).
