Buttons to Bejeweled Necklace Easy DIY Tutorial

I found these buttons at Britex (the same place as the buttons from Tutorial Part 1) and thought they were oh so pretty.  I'm still crushing on the color green and I loved how vibrant the stones were without that murky look that some rhinestones have.


What I Used:

  • Buttons
  • Chain (I used one from an old necklace)
  • Jump rings
  • Eye pins
  • Glue (E6000)


Materials

1.) Slip your eye pin through the button shank

2.) Trim your eye pin to size and loop the straight end.  Allow both loops to just peek out from the button's sides

3.) Add 2 dabs of glue to secure your eye pin

4.) Allow glue to dry and connect your eye pins together with a jump ring

5.) Voila!  Easy peasy.

On a side note, I'm so pleased that my Blogiversary post got published at the Lucky Mag community site!  Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

    Dang! That looks so quick and easy! I have a whole bunch of beads and things from college (may have already told you this months back), and I will be looking to your site for inspiration whenever I am ready to attempt making something. :)

    You are the queen of DIY for sure! I always see cute little buttons at fabric stores but never really thought to make them into a necklace (or even a bracelet). This is a fantastic idea and now I want to go back and see if I can find those cute buttons I saw. Thanks for the awesome tip hun! Love your blog and all the awesome DIYs!
