Some special ladies and my sweet sister in law will be wearing these fabric sunflowers today to celebrate Kansas Day.
It took some cutting! We used Wisecraft's tutorial, but changed the shape of the template. (I will put up the templates later)
Stack the two large flower shapes on top of each other.
Next fold one of the smaller flower shapes in half and place it on top of the larger flower shapes.
Take another small flower shape and fold it placing on top at a 90 degree angle.
Place another small flower shape on top at a 90 degree angle.
Place the last small flower shape on top at a 90 degree angle.
Sew a button on top, making sure you catch all of the folded layers. Next, sew a pin back on the back of the flower.
You can sew clusters of buttons, single buttons or stacked buttons.
Happy Kansas Day!

Celebrate Kansas Day with some Sunflower Cupcakes.
Roll frosted cupcakes in a chocolaty cereal (leave a little space around the edge of the cupcake for the petals), pipe on some petals with a star tip and then very carefully decorate a red M&M to look like a lady bug. To make clean-up easier I attach my decorating tip to the corner of a ziploc bag. For the ladybug I cut the tiniest tip off the corner of the bag. I used a little melted chocolate almond bark for the ladybug details, but frosting would work also. Cupcakes adapted from Ladies Home Journal.
You can see last years celebration cake here along with links to Kansas coloring pages.
