EASY DIY: Button Earrings

Now i know when you saw the title you may have cringed. I say this because most button jewelry i see is kid/teen approved....not quite what the average twenty something diva is looking for.  Well, today i will show how to make an easy, sophisticated, sleek and cheap pair of button earrings. Perfect for a fashionista of any age. 

 

  It's so simple. Materials:16 buttons (any color combo you choose)20 gauge wireround jewelry pliersScissors  

  Step #1lay out 8 buttons flat and cut 2 strands of wire to that length  

 Step #2Take one wire strand and string on the buttons in your desired pattern  

 Step #3Take one end of the same wire strand and place it in the diagonal hole of the first button hole you used. Make sure you place the wire in the same hole on each button.  

Step #4Adjust the wire until you have one side longer than the other. 

  Step #5:Take the shorter wire and wrap it around the long wire. very tightly to secure the buttons in place. Use your round pliers to finish the wrapping.    

 Step #6:Take the single wire and curve it around your round pliers to make an earring hook.   

   That's it. 




 Because this is a DIY, you have the choice of making these earrings however you like. add more buttons to make it longer, add a color scheme with more colors. attach some chain to the bottom. It's all up to you.  This is how I rocked them. (a pink and white pair)
