The Polka Dotted Turtle Button Cover/Applique Set includes a 5x7 Polka Dotted Turtle applique and a coordinating button cover for 1 1/2" buttons.

This set is perfect for embellishing jumpers, jonjons or tees and matching hairbow centers or hairband buttons!  

The button cover is made entirely in one hooping with a stitched guideline to make it easy to use with Fabric Covered Button Kits.  I used the Dritz Covered Button Kits.  Simply stitch your button cover out and then assemble your fabric covered button according to the directions included with the fabric button kit.  These buttons can be used on clothing, as hairbow centers, on flip flops or even on barrettes!
