Preparation
Choose Your Colors
Coordinate the fabric, button, and embroidery floss colors for a cohesive look.
Keep Decoration Separate from Fastening
The source presents the embroidery as decoration worked through a button's holes and does not explain the security of a functional fastening.
Embroider the Stem and Leaves
Make a Dimensional Stem
Work a straight stitch with green thread. Before stitching, place a pin crosswise over it so you do not pull the thread too tight and can preserve the dimensional effect.
The Pin Is Temporary
Remove it after completing the flower.
Add Leaves
Make stitches to the left and right, secure the green thread on the wrong side, and trim it.
Make the Bud with a French Knot
Bring Up the Pink Thread
Bring the pink floss up through the top hole in the button and secure the thread on the wrong side with a knot or stitch.
Wrap the Thread
Wrap the thread around the needle 2–4 times, depending on the thread's thickness.
Tighten the Bud
Insert the needle into the hole and take it to the wrong side, tightening the knot slowly. Then remove the pin.
Replace the Knot with a Bead
Repeat the Stem and Leaves
For the bead version, begin the same way: with a green stem and leaves.
Bring Up the Thread with the Bead
At the top point, bring up the thread with a bead strung on it that coordinates with the fabric.
Use Other Patterns as Inspiration
Consider Six-Hole Buttons
The author notes that you can embroider numbers, letters, and other patterns on them.
Choose a Decorative Motif
You can create a variety of geometric and floral patterns through the holes of standard and multi-hole buttons.
Use the Embroidery as Decoration
The source shows an example of this type of embroidery used to embellish clothing.
Finish and variations
Finish
Check the Decorative Result
Make sure the pin has been removed and that the stem, leaves, and bud are clearly visible in the button's holes.
Variations
Several Buds
Using a finer strand, the author suggests making two or three knots above one stem.
A Bead Instead of a Knot
A pearl, seed bead, or decorative bead can replace the French knot.
