Fun thing is, you could make a bunch of bracelets using different colored buttons to coordinate with different outfits :)
I cut a piece of the elastic after measuring it around my wrist and made it a tad smaller so it would stretch and fit snug. I then threaded the first button on (the large brown one on the left) and tied a knot on the back. Next, I started threading different buttons on, varying the colors and sizes. Some of the smaller buttons fit on top of the large buttons for a nice layered effect.I kept threading on the buttons, as well as pushing them all down on the thread to make them snugly fit next to each other.
When I got towards the end, I pulled the elastic out a little bit to fit on one more button and then tied the thread to the back of the beginning button.
Voila! A fun button bracelet :)
I recently made one of these for a friend-so fun and easy! I love the variety and colors of buttons you chose-great job!
ReplyDeleteSeems like I remember making one of these when I was a teenager! They still look great!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! You have such cute buttons - I feel like I only have a few select colors and roughly similar sizes so it just wouldn't look quite as cute... but I might have to try anyways! : )
