loop & button bracelet

I just love how quickly you can put together this bracelet. The only thing that takes any time at all is stringing on the seed beads that you need for the loop.

Choose any beads you like for this bracelet and you can have it done in under 10 minutes. A great idea for a quick gift!

I’m blessed as I inherited both my grandmother’s and my mother-in-law’s button hoards. 🙂 If you don’t have a button jar to rummage through here are a few assortments you can buy:
