Bracelets are my favorite type of jewelry.
One day I saw the I Spy DIY girl on TV and she mentioned her button bracelets. So I headed over to her site to check them out and I knew I could do this!
The instructions are pretty straightforward. It helps to pin the button to cardboard or corkboard while you're braiding the cord. I gives it something to hold on to.
These 2 have already been confiscated by my daughters. So I'll be making more for myself!
This charm came from the Bella Rustica vintage mall. I'm not sure I like the black cord with it so I may redo it.
While I was on a roll with the cord, I made an arrowhead necklace. My daughter has been wanting an arrowhead necklace and my father gave this arrowhead to her.
Gotta go make more button bracelets!
that is a neat idea! I love the use of buttons. I have some big ones :)
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great idea! I love butons. I bet my daughter would love them too.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea!
ReplyDeleteVery cute ! I really want to delve into jewelry making. They look great!
ReplyDeleteThese are really cool, Kerry! This kind of reminds me of the macrame that we did back in the 70's--only prettier!
ReplyDeleteI like the buttons, but the arrowhead is really something. You did a great job with that!
These button Bracelets for Women are so quick and easy to make, I think they would make great gifts. You could also make the threads a little longer and turn them into anklets. Have you turned buttons into jewelry?
