Tutorial Tuesday: Easy Button Bracelet

This is my first official Tutorial Tuesday!  Today, M and I will be sharing our Easy Button Bracelet with you.  We decided to make a bracelet because M is totally into jewelry now, partly because she wants to have more things to put into her jewelry box that she made at a birthday party, and partly because she just likes sporting things... whether it's a tutu or tiaras, anything colorful and sparkling does the trick.  This is super fun and simple to do with your kiddos.  M liked helping me figure out the pattern of pink, green and purple buttons.  She was so excited to wear this when she was done -- she wore it all afternoon!

Here's what you'll need:

• Buttons - you can choose 4 hole or 2 hole buttons.  With 2 hole, use 1 strand of elastic and with 4 hole, use 2 strands of elastic
• Elastic - we found some silver elastic to add some sparkle
• Scissors

We Found some cute buttons in the dollar bin at Michael's.  They have a bunch of different sizes in the containers -- I'm sure we'll be using these for other projects!

Start by cutting 2 strands of elastic if you're using 4 hole buttons (use 1 strand of elastic for 2 hole buttons).  Draw the elastic through one side of the button and then the other side.

Continue to string other buttons on the same way, making sure not to pull the elastic too tight.  The buttons should rest next to each other comfortably when the elastic is not stretched.

Once you have all the buttons on for the desired length, tie a knot to bring both sides together.

Enyoy!
