Button Earrings

These Button Earrings are super quick and fast. You can even swap out buttons to match your outfit.

Why buy when you can DIY? I chose these Teal Ice buttons to match a new shirt I got. It took me MINUTES to create these earrings. Jump rings are pretty hardy, so you could easily swap out buttons. However, they are so inexpensive and fun, you’ll want to whip up a bunch for yourself and your friends! I like to have friends over to make things. This is perfect!

Supplies for creating Button Earrings

  • Findings – Earring wires, jump rings
  • Buttons – Teal Ice

Instructions

This could not be simpler.

  1. Attach three buttons to jump rings through one of the holes. I used 10 mm rings.
  2. Attach three buttons on their rings to a small jump ring, and attach that to your pre-made earring wires. I used 7 mm rings for this step.

If you’ve never opened jump rings, I’ll share a little tip – don’t pull them apart, twist them… One side away from you and one side toward you. Then, when you are ready to close them, you want to go back and forth a little, this actually strengthens your ring. If you were working with something tinier than a button, like say a wrapped bead, you could even put a little adhesive like Gem Tac.
