I hosted a swap once and I made a little take-along sewing kit for each participant. One of the items was a kit for making an emery strawberry. I bought the emery here:

Costs $11 for only a cup of it, but you only need a teaspoon or two for each strawberry. I made a bunch of them and put one in each sewing machine and sewing basket in the house. I really don't use them very much, but they're so dang cute. :)

The kit included a circle of red dotted cotton about 2½ across, about a 2" square of green cotton, 4" of washable ¼" ribbon and a baggie with a tablespoon of emery sand.
