Vintage Button Necklace DIY


My little creative person has been screaming for some attention lately. 

So I decided to scope out my Crafts Board on Pintrest and look for anything 
that would satisfy my creative itch.

I found This Pin and decided to try it out.
If you want to try it out yourself, you may find the tutorial through the link.

However, I didn't follow that tutorial, I simply went from the picture.
So here's what I did:
  1. I laid out the buttons I wanted in the arrangement I wanted. (as seen in the picture above)
  2. I then transferred the design onto the background fabric, which for me was denim.
  3. I fired up the hot glue gun and put each button into place. (My design changed slightly as I put them together permanently.)
  4. I then cut out the buttons from the extra fabric.
  5. Using needle and thread, I sewed the chain onto the background fabric of the necklace.
My necklace turned out like this, and it's kinda fun. I think I like it.


But I didn't stop there. 
I made this necklace from old earrings and extra chain.


Then I decided that three is a charm and I made another one.


Even though the second two were afterthoughts, I like the second necklace I made the most. I see myself wearing this one a lot.



All in all, it was a good night and my little creative person is satisfied, for now.
