I saw this beautiful bracelet on Pinterest…
and of course wanted to make one for myself!
Or make several for that matter! So naturally, I would not follow the exact design,
but make something much different!
This was the first one I made…I used vintage buttons in blues and some new clamshell round buttons in a teal shade and a light blue shade(thank you JoAnns!)
And then there is this bracelet with the stamped words…imagine, strength, passion, integrity, focus. I have had these rings for a while, just waiting for the perfect project.
And lastly, one that is made entirely of natural clamshell buttons (rectangles and three sizes of round buttons) and a few off center clamshell beads. The base bracelet is a smaller more delicate chain. Anyway, I have not yet finished! I have lots more ideas for these bracelets…hmmm, thinking Christmas presents?
I am linking to these great parties!

Love this! When my Grandma died (almost 20 years ago!) I was the only granddaughter that did any sewing/crafting. She never had much but she saved every little scrap of anything. She gave it all to me with a tin full of buttons! I have hung onto them until I could think of something to do with them. This is perfect! Thanks for sharing :)
What an adorable idea for my most recent button hoarding obsession! Love this!
fantastic idea for using our stash of buttons...
I will be honored if you will add this project in our weekly linking party every Wednesdays at

Really like your bracelets! So pretty, you have made beautiful jewelry! :)
I nearly cried when I saw your beautiful button bracelet! When my grandmother passed a little over a year ago, I inherited her small basket of buttons (I remember playing endlessly with these as a small girl). Now I can take some of those precious buttons and make them into a bracelet to remember her by! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
So cute! I love the sea-shell bracelet. The buttons are a wonderful idea for a bracelet! Love it.
What beautiful bracelets AND beautiful photography! Thank you for such amazing inspiration! :)
I love all things with buttons and these are very original. Great work!
