Button Necklace

  • Completed Project:Button Necklace Picture #1

Buttons, buttons, buttons!

They get everywhere, and you can never find spares when you need them. Keep them in a button box and you'll always have them when you need them. And you'll end up with a collection of weird and wonderful bead substitutes, to make jewellery from.

  1. Step 1

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    Thread both ends with large eyed needles. Thread buttons onto both strings pulling along length. Do not pull all the way to the end, leave a loop to make a fastening.

  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Create your desired pattern using different sizes, colours and shapes of buttons. Try adding a large or interesting button in the middle.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    Round raised buttons are useful as closings. Thread both strands through the button’s fastening and fasten off tightly. Take the remaining loop and hook over to fasten.
