Button Bracelets

A few years ago, some friends and I started making button bracelets. I think they are so cute. I have modified them to make them wider and more of a cuff. These are directions for buttons with four holes. If you're using two hole buttons, only use one strand of twine instead of two. Follow these steps below.

1 strand:

Cut a strand of twine or ribbon of your color choosing that is six times the length you wish your bracelet to be.

Fold it in the middle.

Tie a knot in the folded end with a hole large enough to fit around one button.

Put one strand through the back of one hole in one button.

Take the other strand through the back of the next hole in the same button.

Cross the strands in the front of the button and thread them back through the other two holes.

Thread the next button the same way leaving enough space in between the buttons so they lay flat. It on as many buttons as needed to fit around your wrist.

The last button should fit through the hole at the beginning of the bracelet to secure it on your wrist.

2 strand:

Begin with two strands of twine each six times the length of the bracelet you wish to make.

Find the middle of them both and tie a knot large enough to fit around one button.

Separate the strands into two sets for each row of buttons

Place one strand through the back of a button.

Thread the other strand through the next hole on the same button.

Do the same thing with the other two strands lining the buttons up side by side.

Lay the bracelet flat and line up the four threads next to each other as they come out of the back of the buttons.

Tie the middle two strands and tie a fairly tight square knot.

Leave the outer two strands out. Thread two more buttons onto each set of twine the same as before.

Follow with another square knot.

Continue until there is room for only one one set of buttons.

Again, let the strands fall naturally from the last button.

Tie a knot on the back of each button with the outer threads. Cut threads.

With the two middle threads, thread another single button.

Cross it in the front and thread back through.

Tie a secure knot to tie it off. Cut the threads off or leave them and tie a bow as a girlie addition.

This is a very cute craft. I have one in every color and really love them! They go with everything! Let me know how it goes or if you have any questions!
