Button-crafts or how you can use buttons for making one of a kind jewelry!
Buttons are little treasures and even with inexpensive plastic buttons you can make impressive jewelry!
If you have a look in a haberdashery, you will see rows and rows of buttons in plastic, wood, polymer clay, glass, metal and of course shells and mother of pearl. You will see different sizes and amazing colors.
Making jewelry with buttons is fun, creative and and excellent way to clear the clutter!
We show here different types of jewelry made with different types of buttons. We personally like mother of pearl, Agoya and plastic buttons but you can really make unique jewelry in your favorite style with any kind of buttons. Just play!
Endless possibilities for colorful jewelry making!
We have imagine earrings, a choker, bracelets with seed beads and rings made with buttons and we hope these designs will inspire you!
