This is an easy gift you can make with all those leftover buttons you have lying around.
Materials
- Buttons
- Elastic (A piece just a little bigger that your wrist.)
- Thread
- Needle
Instructions
Choose the buttons that you want to use. You'll need approximately 20 buttons depending on the size of button, wrist and width of elastic. You can choose buttons that are the same color, colors that compliment one another, or random colors.
Sew buttons on to the elastic until it is completely covered, I used clear thread but you could also use thread that compliments the color of your buttons.
Use a larger button to start with, it can be used as a clasp to fasten the ends together. You can also just sew the two ends together and slip the bracelet over your hand.
If you are going to use the large button as button as a clasp, on the opposite end from your button, overlap and sew enough elastic so the button will fit inside of the loop. Try it on and make sure it still fits.
* It is a good idea to make a small hem on each end so the elastic does not fray.
