This is a very easy project. You don't need a bunch of jewlery material. It is very simple and short to do. But one warning, it gets addictive, so don't blame me if you end up with a pair of earings for every day of the month!

You Will Need (3 things)

  • 2 Earring Posts
  • 2 Button(s)
  • Super Glue

Steps (5 steps, 10 minutes)

  1. 1

    First off, gather your materials:
    Buttons
    Earring Posts
    Crazy Glue
    Gloves (to protect your skin)
    Cardboard (to protect your working surface)

  2. 2

    Sort your buttons into pairs with the posts you want them with! With darker buttons you may want to use a darker type of metal (bronze) with lighter earings you might want to use silver posts!

  3. 3

    Then, you should clean the surfaces you will be gluing together and make sure they are dry. Then you can apply a drop of Super glue (crazy glue) to the earing post.

  4. 4

    Then all that is left to do is to glue the post to the earing! Now there are two things you should know depending on the size of the button:
    If the button is small you should center your post.
    I the button is big, you should place it more towards a side, because if you center it, the button will go over your ear....and that is not so nice!

  5. 5

    Now you can also take very plain buttons and decorate them. Here I've taken a grey button and painted a red flower on it and finished it with a coat of gloss! You can also use fabric covered button, or make you own! There is many many possibilities!!

    Enjoy and I hope to see your versions!!
