Things you will need:
- Buttons with two eyes not four
- Black fabric marker OR needle and thick black thread or yarn
- T-Shirt or any other clothing (jeans etc.)
- Acrylic paint, white out or Sharpies for making eyes, lips etc. (optional)
You can paint your faces on before or after stitching onto the t-shirt...Make sure to stitch them on tightly, especially for younger children's clothing. Use black thread, the stitching will look like 'pupils'.
Tip: Place the button 'faces' where you want, then sketch your stick figures with a pencil. You can also place the buttons on a sheet of paper (the size of your t-shirt area) sketch with the buttons in place and then trace on the t-shirt.
Below, is an example of the stick figures sketched (left) and sewn with yarn (right)
