Button Jewelry for Beginners
Like a charm bracelet — only much less expected — this button-trimmed beauty is blessedly easy to make. Amy Barickman's Button Ware (Indygo Junction) spells it all out: Start with a link bracelet (a nickel-plated version with a toggle clasp costs $1.19 at crystalcorners.com), 40 to 60 buttons with shanks (those small loops protruding from the backs), an equal quantity of jump rings, and a pair of needle-nose pliers. For each side of each link on the bracelet: Pry one jump ring open with the pliers, then thread the ring through both the button's shank and the link itself, and use the pliers to pinch it closed again. Repeat until the chain's transformed and ready to wear.

Report AbuseI just made gifts for mother's day. It cost me 6.00 dollars a piece. I made my own flower bowels. I got the annuals for .99 apiece and bought a plastic flower bowel on sale. I stuck a small card on a stick and I'm done. It was fun and way cheaper than buying a pre made one.
