What you’ll need:

Sewing needle

Thread

Scissors

Assorted buttons

Shirt (A scoop neck or V-neck works nicely. Also try sewing
the corsage on the collar of a button-down shirt.)

What you’ll do:

1. Lay out your shirt on a flat surface. Choose a few
buttons from your stash and place them on your shirt in the layout you prefer.
Play with the number, size, color and arrangement of the buttons until you find
a combo you adore.

2. Choose your starting point and sew the buttons on the
shirt in a sequential order. As you travel between buttons, use a tiny stitch
here or there so that you don’t have big stitches on the other side of the
shirt. Also be careful not to pull your thread too tight to avoid puckering the
fabric…and don’t sew the back and the front of your tee together!
