| I saw these on somewhere on the net,and had to make some for myself and sisters. Dig into the old button jar,find some jump rings ahd bead pins.....and ta-dah....the one with pearls is for youngest sister,the one with pink beads for next to youngest. I want one all pearly buttons for myself :) Very quick project, and a great gift, I think. Gonna post it on Crafts and Decorations,too. |

| Thanks ya'll...they are easy, the first ones I used jump rings to connect them to each other with beads in between the buttons. The last one I used a length of silver plated chain, and some bead wire, some pearly and translucent buttons,and some clear acrylic beads that came off beaded ribbon scraps,with a toggle clasp on the end. It was very hard to get a pic of this one,but maybe you can see it. I've since found so many different ways to make a button bracelet, and will most likely make them,too. |

| "Well, I have seen it all!" I just donated a bunch of blouses to charity. They had the cutest buttons on them - and now, I feel sick! These are beautiful bracelets. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Sandy |
