One of my favorite purchase at Farm Chicks was this pretty charm bracelet.
I ran into Laura (WSU Laura) at the show and right away noticed the sparkly bracelet she was wearing. Right then, I knew I had to have one too!
Lisa (A Thing For Roses) created the bracelet using lots of pretty vintage buttons. I was thrilled when I found she had one left for me to buy.
I've now added a few more buttons from my stash of favorite buttons (you know, the ones you love so much that you never use) to it. I'm so happy to finally use some of my favs and love how the bracelet just keeps getting prettier!
A few weeks ago, I put together a few rings using a couple vintage buttons and an old earring. Big rings seem to be all the rage right now.
I love wearing these!
Tomorrow, is Sydney's last day of 1st grade.
She thought her teacher would like a button charm bracelet like mine, so I made one for her.
It turned out really pretty.
To wrap it, I made a little bag out of a vintage hanky.
The coordinating fabric flower is made from the same hanky. I glued the flower to a clothespin which made a great closure for the little bag.
Sydney then attached a note to her teacher.
Oh boy, is she going to miss Mrs. Emery!

Wow, I love the button bracelets and rings! But I'm not as crafty as you, so I went to your Etsy store, but it looks like the shelves are empty. Are you taking orders?

I have a zillion vintage buttons and would love to know how to make these. I have several a daughter, two daughters-in-law, two sisters as well as 5 granddaughters who I know would love one. Nieces and a Goddaughter,too. Have you ever done a tutorial on these or posted instruction? If you could direct me to a place to learn I would be most grateful. Most Sincerely, Becky Wierzbicki
I found you via Pinterest and just had to comment on how much I love your items. :) The rings are fabulous and I think I may try to make something similar if you don't mind.
