Create a Button Necklace!

 I created one-of-a-kind button necklaces
 as graduation gifts for my daughters:  Sarah and Faith.

I found reasonably priced sterling silver necklaces  
and bales at Pandahall  
www.pandahall.com
and added antique rhinestone buttons as pendants.

I ordered "button converters" 
from my favorite cameo jewelry supply company.

I glued the button converter to the 
backs of some buttons with E-6000 glue, 
and glued different bales
to the backs of other buttons.

I hope 
the necklaces 
I created 
for my daughters
will be treasured 
for years to come.

My friend, Marie,

 of antique and vintage buttons.
