  Step 1

  I went to my favorite antique store yesterday, The Preserve Cottage {has Pam also a wonderful online shop} and found the beautiful silver plated, monogrammed creamer and used that as my starting point. I had everything else on hand.

  Step 2

  I first stuffed some tissue paper at the bottom of the creamer.

  Step 3

  Next, I cut a small square of white broadcloth, gathered the edge with a gathering stitch, placed a small amount of fiberfill in the center, pulled the stitching tightly and knotted it off.

  Step 4

  Next, I hot glued some antique lace trim {I had a table runner that had seen better days with some of the trim missing so I didn’t feel so bad for salvaging what I could}. I next placed the pouf of fabric and lace into my creamer hot glueing it into place.

  Step 5

  I used a few of my favorite ribbons to make a simple bow, stitching it in the center and attaching some buttons I had saved from my Grandmother’ s button box. I added some Dritz straight pins {purchased at Wal Mart} and a charm that I had on hand. That was it. This would make a great gift for a sewer and would certainly be unique and inexpensive. happy hugs, mb.
