How I attach my Handmade Daisies

(I often like to add a button to the centre of my Daisies, so I use a sharp needle - this needle is quite often used to sew leather - its rather sharp and has a beveled edge and makes it easy to get through to the back of the daisy and also through cardstock/paper.)

(This is a closeup of the "wrong" side of the daisy. Here you can start by threading some cotton/embroidery thread through the back of the daisy and then sew the button on. I then leave a length of thread at the back of the daisy and thread the needle through to the back of my card or layout.)

A few people have asked me how I attach my Handmade Daisies so I thought I'd show you.

It usually depends what I am attaching it to. If it is a card that I am giving away I would make sure it was attached securely. If it was something that I was keeping myself - a layout for instance then I probably wouldn't be as fussy. You can add a dob of glue and apply some pressure until dry - dimensional magic works a treat!!!!!

I must point out at this stage that there is a "wrong" and a "right" side to the daisies.

If you look closely you can see that the "right" side has the petals raised up and on the "wrong" side you can see tiny knots in the middle where I secured the thread when the daisy is complete. I always hide this side to the back of my work.

Hope this helps.
