DIY Button Jewelry

DIY Button Jewelry

Handmade Bracelets Handmade Necklacesby Create Whimsy

So many buttons! I can’t throw them away – they’re perfectly useful, and I like to think about the stories the vintage ones could tell. But I would like to free some of them from their box on the shelf. I found some fun diy button jewelry ideas that make creative use of mismatched buttons. Good, cuz that’s mostly what I have!

DIY Button Jewelry

Have a stash of buttons and don't know what to do with them? Inherit your mom's button box? Just love collecting pretty buttons? Make some jewelry!

Here are some great ideas for making DIY button jewelry.

Have fun making your own statement pieces of jewelry with your buttons! Change up the color schemes, use different size buttons, try the different techniques in these projects - but most important, have fun and play with buttons!

Cord and Button Bracelet

Choose a narrow cord – leather, hemp, silk or cotton – and string on a row of coordinating buttons to make this Cord and Button Bracelet. I like the way Hope Studios has mixed 2-hole and 4-hole buttons in this project. It would be fun made extra-long as a double or triple wrap bracelet. And I think I have enough buttons….
