Berries or fruit-shaped buttons make great embellishments for a
decorative basket! Stencil on a few leaves, hot glue the buttons
and embellishments in place and Voila! a designer basket.
2.) Hair accessories like combs and bow clips are natural items to personalize with embellishments. Pick a theme and hot glue the items into place for great hair accessories. Especially nice for kids, and for creating matching accessories for favorite garments. Good for gifts, party favours, kid's projects (when working with small children have an adult glue the items in place to prevent burns from the hot glue).

plaques, coat racks, message boards and more can all be
turned into personalized home decor accents with the help of a
few embellishments.
4.) Let's not forget garments and clothing items! Sweatshirts and t-shirts are fun and easy to personalize. Denim shirts are great too. Buy a purchased shirt or sew your own, then add on buttons, appliqués and ribbon roses. for a one-of-a-kind creation.
