Bobby Pins with Buttons
Created by: Dina Fernandez

Rings & Things' version of our "favorite things."

30-822-1 10mm round-pad bobby pins
Your choice of assorted buttons (or brads/grommets).

We suggest using flush cutters (#65-507) to remove button shanks.

Do you have a box of old buttons lying around that you just couldn't bear to part with because they were so cute? Are they sitting there collecting dust? How about collecting compliments instead! Grab some super glue and some round-pad bobby pins and start raking in those flattering comments. It's easy and affordable. Just think — you'll be cleaning and creating at the same time! (You can also use scrapbook brads/grommets and achieve the same look as the design shown without having to remove the button's shank.)

To ensure a strong, secure glue bond, see our Gluing Hints for Metal Findings tip sheet. To view our jewelry-making technique sheets (PDF files), you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader. You can download it free here.
