Button Charms


Hey Everyone,

Only a week till Mother's Day.....

These charms are an easy, creative gift that you can make in 10 minutes for your mum or grandmother.

You will need:
Buttons
Chain
Jump Rings (I used a larger chain link instead)
Charms (optional)
Clip

Attach the buttons and charms to the clip using different lengths of chain. 

That's it!!!

I made 3 different versions....

For this turquoise version I added a large ring, and I think its my favourite...


I also love these fabric buttons and the pops of pink....



This is a more classic charm with vintage type buttons....


I really like how they turned out...what do you all think?


Simple and sweet right? 


Here are a few other great Mother’s Day ideas for you to try out....

Take care

  1. I love these. Where did you pick up all your supplies I never see anything like this in Oz. I'm in the process of trying to do something crafty at the moment but I'm not managing my time well.

    I think any crafty mum would love to receive one of your button charms this mother's day.
