Grimms Large Threading Buttons. 24 brightly coloured buttons with two threading holes, also great for building and colour sorting. Comes with two threading cords.

Get out your calotte (I had to look up what this was called, before this I knew it as 'one of those crimpy things'), and lay the knot across it. Close the calotte, trapping the knot.

Excuse the fluffy ends on my pic, I didn't have my nice sharp embroidery snips with me. Fold down the loop, trapping your split ring in it.

Next, take your ribbon and create a loop at one end by folding it in half and tying a knot halfway down. With the unlooped end, tie onto your wreath, covering the wire knot. Tie into a bow and adjust until pretty!PSHE - as a successful thread, it promotes a sense of accomplishment, confidence, and competence in overcoming challenges. They're based in convenient locations including supermarkets, newsagents and train stations. Plus they're often open late and on Sundays.
