This is an example of the type of button/ribbon the instructions will produce. I created the originals on a whim as prize ribbons for a St. Patrick's Day Chili Cookoff: Best Chili with Beans, Best Chili without Beans, Hottest Chili - that sort of thing. I made this one for myself. The center of the "green" ribbons had the shamrock and simple wording and it was quick to stitch and assemble 5 or 6. Everyone who made chili got a ribbon, and the unusual party (including the green Green Chili chili) was a hit. |
