Drop by a thrift store and find some vintage buttons – they can easily be made into a bracelet!

You’ll need craft wire (I’ve used aluminium wire), buttons with two holes and a wire cutter. Thread the wire through 8-9 buttons, going up one hole and down the other, as shown on the pictures below. It think it looks good if you put together buttons in slightly different colors and sizes. When I got the bracelet size I wanted, I twirled the wire around the first button closing the bracelet and then I cut off the superfluous wire.

I’m always looking for new things to make with buttons. Why? Because buttons is something most people have, and if not they are easy to access. The other day I saw a necklace on twitter – easy, cute and done in five minutes. So I decided to make a necklace myself.

To make this you need a small handful of buttons in different sizes and twine. I’ve put the large buttons in the centre of the necklace and the smallest ones out on the sides.

Well, until now I’ve made the button magnets, bow ties, coasters, earrings, clothespins, name flags, bracelets and rings. What more can I make with buttons? Any suggestions? Do comment below!

Have a lovely crafty weekend
