Making Up:

Have a look here for the buttons
Take a length of black wool and untwist it, so you can work with a single strand.  The wool I used had 3 strands all twisted together. 
Using this wool, work a running stitch from under the dragonfly, create a loop-the-loop pattern and then continue the running stitch around the back to the edge of the knitting.  Fasten this end off.
Finally, oversew the row ends and turn inside out.
