Retired - Vintage Button Bracelet

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

1. Begin by looking through your collection of vintage buttons and select eleven of the small 12mm buttons in the mix. I chose a variety of finishes, including 4 gold toned, 2 brass toned, 2 bright silver toned and 2 antiqued silver toned. You can pick any designs you like.
2. Turn your buttons over and with your flush cutters, snip off the backing of your vintage buttons. Try to remove as much of the backing as possible, ensuring that your buttons will lay flat on the flat pads.
3. Next, lay your bracelet flat on your work space with the flat pads facing up.
4. Now add a dollop of E6000 onto each flat pad and begin adding on your vintage buttons (with the designs facing up) in any order you like. Press down gently onto the center of the flat pads and glue each button down.
5. Once you are done gluing on your vintage buttons, set your bracelet aside to dry.
6. Your bracelet is done!
