Button Bracelets

First things first........  I want to welcome everyone that came by, liked what they saw and became a follower!  I planned a slow entry into this world but as most plans go they never go as planned!  I have 'met' some great people and found some awesome new blogs that I can't wait to read through.

Now, if you are one of those people you have been warned.  I do love buttons!! 

I don't have pictures of the process but basically I measured 1/2 elastic and sewed the ends.  When I say sew you will quickly realize that means a needle and thread. (Side note, I do have a machine but we haven't quite fallen in love yet.) For future ones I would recommend 1/4 inch.  It will get this job done and not limit how big your buttons have to be.

Then I just picked out buttons, choose a starting place and went for it.  I tried to place them so that they 'layered' and didn't expose the elastic.  When I had the elastic fully covered I came back with some smaller ones and but another button on top. 

This is the first one I made:

After seeing it my college age daughter wanted one too so on Christmas Eve I finally got it done!

The inside isn't exactly attractive but the outside is adorable.  A little time consuming, I think it took me about an hour and a half but something to do while sitting in front of the TV.

If anyone gives it a try I would love to see what you come up with!

Thanks for stopping by!!!!
