Pipe Cleaner and Button Bracelets

We made these cute bracelets by threading buttons on to a pipe cleaner.

My grandma left us oodles of beautiful buttons to play with and create with. The type of button that has a loop underneath, as opposed to holes going through the center, was perfect for this project.

To close the bracelet, I twisted the two ends together once near the wrist, then made two loops and twisted those together once to look like a little bow.
These girls love their new jewelry!

Wow! Great idea! I love your creativeness! My mom has all of my grandmother's sewing stuff but I am sure we could get some buttons. Thanks for sharing!

You and your sister are so creative. I love both of your blogs!
