Let's Play With Some Buttons!


Buttons are for sewing. Yes, everybody knows that, but we can also use it for crafting, like, embellishing your pillow with buttons. A friend o f mine did that. You can also use it as eyes for your handcrafted stuff toys and Rageddy Ann dolls. But there’s one cute thing that we can do with buttons and I love it, we can also use them in making handmade accessories and jewelries.Examples of them are these bracelets from two creative girls, Amber and Andrea! They’re really good at making button bracelets and they will show you how you can do it, too.


Button Bracelet from Aunt Peg’s Jewelry



With Amber’s version of a button bracelet, she used rope cord to string the buttons together. Additional materials you will need are crimper tool, crimp beads, jump rings and lobster clasp.

Amber with her best friend Megan created this cute button bracelet. They had been runningAunt Peg’s Jewelry website in honor of Amber’s aunt, named, Peg. You’ll find lots of creative ideas and nice jewelry designs in their website, including the free tutorial for the button bracelet.


Now, this one looks really cool. I love the colors that Andrea chose for her button bracelet.

And what’s cute is Andrea used ribbons instead of strings and so the colorful of the ribbon matches the colors of the buttons.






Pink ribbons for pink buttons




















And green ribbons for green buttons








Andrea, who studied Fashion Design loves all things textiles. With the City and Guilds in embroidery and design that she managed in the past, it gave her the opportunity to learn new skills and up to now, she has never closed her doors in continuing to learn more and more new things. One of her cute ideas is making the button bracelet and she’s sharing it to you with herfree tutorial.


Aside from making use of buttons and turning them into a bracelet, you can also make button necklaces. You can watch a free video tutorial from Laura Baillie.

So, we have a bracelet and a necklace. I bet there's something cooking in your mind now and you're thinking about your extra buttons that you have in your sewing box. ",)
