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.

http://www.cameojewelrysupply.com/default.aspx

Item#110x Gold 20mm button converter
$0.40

http://www.cameojewelrysupply.com/Button-Shanks-Button-Backs-C80.aspx

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,

blessed me with a treasure

of antique and vintage buttons.

Button Storage

Have fun looking for

antique and vintage buttons

to create your

one-of-a-kind button necklaces!

Thanks for stopping by!

Come back often, and invite a friend!

Supplies

Teapot Bead Frame
Bead (To fit inside teapot frame) (Be certain the size of your bead fits inside the opening of the teapot bead frame.)
Small Bead (Optional for top of bead frame)
Eye Pin (http://www.pandahall.com/ProductSearch?keyword=eye+pin)
Jump Ring
Necklace

To make the teapot pendant...

Start with the eye pin on the base of the teapot bead frame,

and push it up through the center of the teapot frame.

Add the pearl (or bead-of-choice) to the eye pin while it is inside the hole of the teapot bead frame.

Push the eye pin up (with the pearl on it)

through the top of the teapot frame.

(Optional: Add a small pearl or bead-of-choice on top.)

Bend the straight eye pin into a loop and close it.

Open a jump ring and insert it into:

1) the top of the now closed eye pin,

and

2) around the necklace.

Close the jump ring.

Solder the jump ring. (This is an Optional step, but I always solder my jump rings closed.)

Jewelry Basics:

Learn how to open and close a jump ring, and how to solder jump rings closed.
