1. Gather up the gemstones, Miyuki seed beads, metal spacers, crimp beads and covers and a cup button. You will be using .018 beading wire so it’s a good idea to have pliers handy.
2. Cut about a foot of wire and add on about 7 inches of beads, each separated by a spacer. Put a crimp bead at the end of the pattern. Thread up through the button and back down through the button and crimp bead. Flatten the crimp bead with the pliers. Put on a crimp cover.
3. Push the beads up to the button. Put the crimp tube first, then add on enough seed beads to make a loop to fit the button. Cut the end of the wire. Put on the crimp cover. Flatten with pliers and your button clasp bracelet is done.
The Button Clasp Simple bracelet is an effortless way to use up extra beads you may have laying around or showcase your favorite buttons. It make a great quick last minute gift.
