Making Connections

By Janet Klaer

I inherited my grandma's button box and would like to make BUTTON BRACELETS. Where I can purchase the metal blanks?

Thimbles Etc. has a Button Bracelet Kit that contains a 7" bracelet blank in either silver or gold and instructions for making the bracelet. The detailed directions include how to shorten the bracelet, how to prepare the button, how to glue the button in place, and button placement ideas. The bracelet blanks can also be purchased separately. To order, call (303) 918-4300, or visit thimblesetc.com.
