Buttons & Beads Necklace

Hi, it’s Allie! It’s Thursday, time for some button jewelry, and I’m sharing a Buttons & Beads Necklace with you today.

Button Jewelry with Allie Gower

If you have a basic understanding of stringing, this necklace is super simple!

I went with a rainbow sherbet color scheme – pink lemonade, raspberry, orange – yummy, right? I used satin finish buttons – picking out all the same size, just because … The pinks (dark and light) are from the Victorian Collection. The orange ones are from the Tutti Fruity Collection.

I used single seed beads on both ends and I strung the wire through both holes in the buttons, using a seed bead on the wire coming out of each hole. I went about 2/3 of the way around the necklace in this manner, and then brought both strands together with seed beads. I reversed the order of the seed beads after each set of matched buttons – just to add a little interest.

Simple Repetition

I finished it off this necklace with a simple magnetic closure and some crimping beads. I particularly like magnetic closures for kids – if they accidentally got caught on something, it would open. The magnet is strong enough to stay closed during normal wear.

This would be so fun to do with the kids for summer! Are you ready for summer?
