Adorable Button Rings {Tutorial}

Basically ever since I did my Peek-A-Boo Pattern shop review,

I have been in LOVE with button kits!

I had to use them for the Newsie Caps I made, and I just

thought they were the coolest thing! Button kits allow you

to turn any fabric/material in an adorable button for whatever

project you need! I have been wanting to use them again but

for something else, not just sewing related.

Well since I have been really into jewelry making lately,

and mostly because my daughter, Kiah, has been bugging me

to make her some kind of pretty jewelry for her.. I decided to 

make some rings using some hand made buttons! :)

Its totally easy peasy and Im going to share with you the tutorial.

Here is what you will need:

Flat Back Button kit  

(I didnt have flat backs on hand so I just cut off the loop with wire cutters)

Fabric of your choice

(Of course for Kiah I HAD to do Zebra Print for her!)

Scissors

E6000 

(or other sturdy adhesive)

Ring Base 

(You can find these at most craft stores!)

Cut your piece of fabric with plenty of extra room 

around your button cap.

Then place the fabric upside down on the silicone base of the 

button making tool.

1.) Place button cap upside down, over the fabric

2.) Push button cap down into silicone mold

3.) fold excess fabric into button cap

4.) Place button back over top

5.) Use other button making tool to push down until you hear a click

6.) Bend the silicone mold and push out finished button! :)

Now that the button is finished you can add a drop of glue

to the back of the button and then place the ring base over it. 

Let it dry upside down over night.

And there you have it, a custom made button ring!

Kiah was pretty excited that I made it special for her! :)

And she especially loved the zebra print!

Something else to add to her collection. :)

 Ohhh Sparkly...Yes...its true, Kiah is actually a "Twilight" Vampire!

 I couldnt help myself I had to make a few more button rings:

Im so loving the cherry ones!

The brown one is made out of this gorgeous faux leather material.

 

Pin It

The possibilities are pretty much endless when it comes to making

your own buttons!  With all the pretty fabric out there you can 

make any custom ring you want... or even earrings! Ohhh

I think next Im going to have to make some fabric flowers

and use the buttons as the centers. That will be totally adorbs!

What do you think?

What would YOU make with these?

Linky Parties!
