You can purchase the adjustable ring bases online. Try doing a search on eBay or Etsy. I purchased mine from Jan's Jewelry Supplies.
I got most of these buttons on eBay. You can buy them in lots, just search for something like "vintage plastic buttons." Just don't bid against me!
I also purchased some of these from Miss Vicky's store (Miss Vicky is a local crafter and IndieSacramento vendor:

isn't there an tutorial like this on here....I can't remember. You don't need to buy a shank cutter, you can just use normal scissors.

I just went through the site, there isn't another how-to on making button/bead rings like this. There is a few people who have posted their own button rings though. Thank you, so much for the how-to you did a great job making it!

oh yes, they were creations but they still explained how to make them as they're fairly simple.
I do like the buttons you chose, I'm off to get some!
