One of my friends just passed her U.S. citizenship test and I thought that called for a little stitchy gift to help her celebrate. The Flatbed Uncle Sam was perfect for an Altoid tin top. I used button wheels on this one. Not sure what will go inside. I'm thinking red, white and blue hair accessories like barrettes and elastics topped off with a bit of chocolate. This one is stitched on Bay Rum Jobelan.
Love them both! The Altoid tin came out especially well. Is the blue on the bottom half a ribbon too? It almost looks like leather in your pic.
ReplyDeleteThey are both very cute. I like how you are using the sequins and buttons. Nice job on the tin finish.
ReplyDeleteLove your Altoid tin!!!
