Button Rings

How to make rings out of paper clips and buttons! Very simple, can be made in bulk to sell or gift. I made mine for a ren faire trinket trade.

Supplies

You will need:

  1. Paper clips
  2. Buttons
  3. Paint brushes/pencils

Step 1

Start with a paperclip. Unfold it into a straight line.

Step 2

Using a small paintbrush or pencil, bend the paperclip in half. The smaller the button you are using, the smaller the paintbrush you will need.

Step 3

Thread the paperclip through two button holes.

Step 4

Flatten out either side of the paperclip

Step 5

Wrap the paperclip around your thumb OR around a thick paintbrush.

Step 6

Curve any pointy edges with your fingers and you're done! Happy crafting!
