From buttons to bracelets
Article Abstract:
Elegant but funky bracelets can be made by using some 150 buttons. For a bracelet that is a little subtly designed, buttons that are of the same color can be arranged and strung around an elastic cord. For a funkier style, buttons that have the same theme or are at least of the same texture can be used.
