Button Bracelets
by Mary Wilkins
Description: Button bracelets are a fun, easy craft for kids.
Kids can learn to sew and understand a few basics while making this
cute button bracelet. All you need is a strip of 3/4" elastic long enough
to go around their wrist with 1" extra for joining ends. Also, they
will need lots of buttons, odd, colourful buttons from any type of
clothing. The bigger and brighter, the better. Here is what you do.
Cut 3/4" elastic to fit their wrist with 1" to spare for overlapping.
Sew buttons on elastic by hand. They will want good quality polyester
thread and a sewing needle. Sew buttons on so that none of the elastic
is showing. After the button is sewed on, take the thread to the back of
the elastic and tie a knot so the button will not fall off. Sew on all
sorts of different buttons. Keep about 1/2" from both ends bare so they
can overlap and sew together.
There you go, your very own button bracelet. Have
fun!!!
