What are the "things " that you cover with the embroidery piece? Would like to see what you are putting the fabric to. They are pretty.

They are flat back buttons that are covered with the embroidered fabric. I then glue them onto the ID Badge reels. They are used in hospitals, schools, seminars, etc... Here is what they look like before I cover them. This is a great website if you have never been there.

Emily, I keep on hand a bolt of white fabric and snip 3" and and rip the whole bolt from selvage to selvage. I use my small 2X3 hoop and just start stitching. I don't cut the fabric until I have however many I can get on that one long strip (usually 12). :) They are fast and easy. I left instructions on YOU.

Thank you Hilde. I didn't go by the color chart. They were using all gray tones. And you have to give Santa Blue eyes. LOL

Very cute, wish I had some of those when I was working but then, my reel was on my belt loop to hold one master key.

Thanks Laura, it took about 30 mins. The mini's are from emblibrary I think. I used my 2X3 hoop and ripped off a 4" strip of white fabric and then with each one I individually put stabilizer under, but didn't cute the fabric until all were done. 1 strip of fabric will make approx 12 which is how many I needed, until yesterday when she asked for more. LOL... I'm glad you like them. I hope you will be able to make some too.

Thank you. These buttons are glued to a retractable reel. You can't put these on clothes, but you can make them for that if you have the right backing on the button.
