  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    You will need two pliers, at least one round nose, and one cutting plier.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    The materials needed are: several buttons, round silver beads, headpins and earwires.


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Organize the buttons chromatically so that they look like a rainbow. Pick what color you want your rainbow to start and end with, I started with pink and ended in purple.

    String them onto the headpin, placing one silver bead in between.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    Using your pliers, make a wrapped loop. You can search online to see how.


  5. Step 5

    Step 5

    Since the buttons are different sizes and have different amount of holes, the earrings will have a 'topply' effect. =)

  6. Step 6

    Step 6

    Attach the earwire to the wrapped loop to finish the earrings.
