Chunky Button Necklace

By Allie Gower on July 11, 2013 in Jewelry

Create a chunky button necklace.

For a fun button necklace, all you need is a thick chain, buttons and lots of jump rings. Don’t forget your pliers!

This button says sunshine to me!

I gathered up a hodge podge of orange and hot pink buttons.

Pumpkin Orange

Sweet Blush

Supplies:

Laura Kelly buttons
Jump Rings – 7mm, 10mm – Bead Landing (Michael’s)
Chain – Bead Landing (Michael’s)
Optional – lobster, split ring – Bead Landing (Michael’s)

Directions:

Gather your buttons. Put an orange button AND a pink button onto a 10 mm jump ring.
Attach each of these rings to a the necklace with 7mm jump rings.
Add your closure. I used a lobster clasp with a split ring.

To change things up, mix different colors or add crystals, beads, or charms!

Give it a try. It’s inexpensive and FUN!

Mixed Media Necklace

By Allie Gower on May 30, 2013 in Jewelry, Mixed Media

I created a mixed media necklace to share with you today. Mixed media to me means having fun. It’s more about the journey, and not so much about the results.

I like to incorporate elements that have meaning to me, or to the person I’m creating for. I love butterflies. They are all about change.

Supplies for creating a mixed media necklace

Note – this is what I used – use what YOU love. But of course, include some fun buttons! You don’t need everything on this list – you could play with paint, beads, remake an old necklace… The sky is the limit. Enjoy the journey!
