Colouricious can show you a wonderful way of creating these buttons with a clear and easy to follow video. You can watch the video by clicking on it below.

We hope this has given you inspiration to create some buttons for your next project. We would love to see pictures of any of the items you have made so please feel free to send us any pictures we would love to see them.
Our Printing and Patchwork DVD is the ideal accompaniment for any crafting project as we go into detail with Mary Gamester about colours and design and getting the right combinations to give your craft project that really special look. You can purchase this excellent DVD by clicking on the image below.
Block of the Month
These blocks are a truly beautiful set of geometric patterns that would look super as a background pattern to complement a big highlight block pattern, or alternatively as a bold design to make a plain material really stand out. the blocks come with a mat as well as two small bottles of fabric paint so you are ready to get started as soon as the set arrives.
If you would like this beautiful set, then head over to our website and place your order.

Explore Mystical Bhutan
Follow in the steps of William and Kate, our future King and Queen and join us on a magical trip to Bhutan. This secretive country hides away from the gaze of the general public, permitting very few entry visas each year. You have the chance to explore Bhutan and see the villagers at work practising crafts that have been handed down over the generations.
We first visited Bhutan in 2015 and the trip was such a success that we immediately applied for more visas to return this year. Places are filling up quickly and it is not the type of trip where we will be able to add extra numbers to at the last minute.
If you would like to join us as we travel to Bhutan in September, then visit our website and fill in the booking form to reserve your place. Not only will you have a holiday of a lifetime, but you will also be travelling in the footsteps of royalty!
