Craft project #22: Button jewelry


We made these necklaces and bracelets with simple embroidery floss and buttons from the market next door. We also used a needle to thread the buttons on. I actually had to hold the needle; Maggie just picked the buttons and was the designer of the necklace. We found that if you thread the thread through all four holes of a four-holed button, the buttons will stay in place better. You can alternate four-holed buttons with two-holed buttons to help them stay in place better, also. Maggie also made her Pepaw a key chain in this style by forming a loop of buttons and attaching it to a metal ring.
Careful with these...they tangle easily. :) Maggie had fun with it, though.
