Oak leaf decoration card - upcycled vintage style keepsake, zero waste

With its vintage "Grandad Cardigan" button, my little patchwork oak tree leaf makes a lovely decoration. Attached to a card for easy gifting, this is perfect as a memory gift or keepsake - perhaps for your Grandad, or from a Grandad to a student going away to University. This would also be a lovely way to say thank-you to a special teacher. This was an experimental zero-waste piece; I only made 3, and this is the last one. Each oak leaf is slightly different, making this a one-of-a-kind gift. Presented on a simple craft card and sent in a sturdy letterbox-size cardboard box to protect the button. I can post directly on your behalf - see the listing in my postal upgrades section. I created the fabric using a foundation piecing technique, using some small scraps in lovely soft greens and quilted it to a spring green on the reverse. I hand-cut the oak leaves and machine stitched with a variegated thread to resemble leaf veins, before adding a vintage leather button to represent an acorn, and a red faux suede cord for hanging. You can display the leaf either way. NOTE: The leather button is upcycled from my button box collection. If you prefer not to have leather, it can be swapped out for a vintage wooden or plastic one - just add a note when ordering. Approx size 4 inches for the leaf; with the cord it is 7 inches.
