Button, Button, Who's Got the ...

Three rings and three pair of earrings

Buttons come in so many wonderful materials, colors, sizes, and designs. And they're ready made for easy, inexpensive, 5 minute earrings or ring projects.

Here are a few lovelies made of metal, plastic, and wood.

(Update: See Button, Buttons, Part 2 to see how Lynda made these.)

Need more info
by: Kathleen Davis

I love your idea but could you give us more detail? How did you attach the back for the bail? What did you do to the button to make it a ring?
Great ideas.

Great jewelry component idea!
by: Rena

I love these, Lynda! Vintage and novelty buttons would be especially fun to use this way.

Thanks so much for sharing this great inspiration - and I second Kathleen's question about the best way to attach the jewelry findings to the buttons. :o)

Buttons, part 2
by: Lynda

You're absolutely right! I was so focused on showing the unique designs of the buttons, I neglected to include information on the
'how-to'. So look for an upcoming post titled, Button, Button, part 2. I'll include a photo of the back of both the earrings and rings. It will also include the sources for directions--my apologies for not giving credit to the artists who inspired me.
