It's different andI don't think I would do a lot of them, but a few here and there would be fun. You use a lot of stitches and ribbons, yarns, buttons. I did it since I had a bunch of stuff hanging around that I don't use. It came out better then what I thought it would. I think I will mount it on a board and hang for a while than donate it. I would like to do one without the buttons and use more yarns and ribbons of a placemat.
