| Another round of my Crafty Tuesday... |
I am so excited to finally be starting this craft! I found it waaaaay back in August and knew I had to make lots and lots of these. Of course I'd want one (or several) for myself but I couldn't stop thinking about what a great gift these would make!
Button Rings!
I found the tutorial at Rubies and Pearls and I must say, I love the one she made. That flower button is just the cutest! In my search for
buttons, I think I found some really rad ones. Most were bought as sets of three that coordinate. I did buy one honking burgundy button all by itself. Didn't know what I'd put with it but I couldn't pass it up. All of my buttons came from
Hancock Fabrics.

| So, I started with these buttons... |
|
Of course, you know me, I made a change or two to the tutorial. Instead of a glue gun, I used E6000 adhesive. I find it holds better; and, since some of these are going to be gifts, I didn't want them to fall apart while being worn. So, after my one little change, this is what I ended up with...
 |
| The first 5. All buttons. |
 |
| The second 5. I got a little crazy and added some beads I had. |
|
|
Now the big decision...which do I allow myself to keep and which will I give away???

I agree, Amie. Your bracelets and earrings would go perfectly with these rings. I had to order my ring blanks from Hong Kong. Let me know if you find a closer supplier.
