i-create - Angel in your pocket Buttons

Been quite busy I am a bit late in blogging and showing what I did for the week after working on the 21-pocket quilt for my niece. It is now week 10 of my creative life and looks like I still am filled with ideas to make. Let me see if I can sustain my brain to keep on coming up with something to make every week especially that this month is craft month. For this week I decided to make buttons for the children of Roma Qld. A lady member of the facebook group The Sewing Library posted a message on the group's page about children of Roma who with their family lost their homes and everything in them in a flood that inundated Queensland several months ago and she thought it would be a great idea to get some members of the group to make some handmade things for the kids. 

Am not so sure how the kids would react to what I was going to make but the moment I saw the message posted I was determined to make buttons and I was going to adhere ribbons to the buttons so they can wear it if they want to. I started to find the right image to use for the buttons and I came up with the image of an angel inside a pocket and a message which read 'an angel in your pocket they say...will keep your troubles far away...'. I used a 57mm size button which I have plenty in stock.

Here is the button I created with a ribbon and to finish off the handmade item I placed them in organza bags which I bought from a 2-dollar shop near where I live. 

I hope the children of Roma will like what I made for them.
