Cute as a Button Bracelet Tutorial
Created by: Claudia Crosby
Designer Tips
- Stretch and secure the bracelet ends to cardboard with tape. This prevents it from moving when gluing on the buttons.
- Use heavy duty hardware store cutters to remove the button shanks. This will keep your jewelry cutters from becoming marred.
- Sand or file smooth the backs of the buttons.
- Rough up the surface of the bracelet pads with a file or sandpaper before applying glue.
- Clean surfaces with alcohol before applying glue with a toothpick.
- Add charms or dangles if desired.
