Designer Tips

• Stretch and secure the bracelet ends to cardboard with tape. This prevents it from moving when glueing on the buttons.
• Use heavy duty hardware store cutters to remove the button shanks. This will keep your jewelry cutters from becoming marred.
• Sand or file smooth the backs of the buttons.
• Rough up the surface of the bracelet pads with a file or sandpaper before applying glue.
• Clean surfaces with alcohol before applying glue with a toothpick.
• Add charms or dangles if desired.
