Supplies
- Variety of buttons in different sizes and colors. (We found that Joanne Fabrics and Walmart both have great selections of these big, bright buttons)
- E beads in various colors. (E beads are bigger than seed beads and are available most places that sell beading supplies)
- 1mm. stretch string. (We love Stretch Magic and often buy it at Michael's. It is strong and high quality)
- Scissors
- Hypo Cement glue to secure knot. (We buy ours at Michael's. This is the glue that we use on all of our stretch string beading projects. It is super strong and will not make your stretch string brittle)
Let's Get started!
Snip a length of stretch string at approximately six inches.
Thread a bead onto string. (Three beads is a cute alternative)
Thread ends through holes in the smallest button. Layer with the next size and so on.
Thread beads on each side of stretch string. (A ring for an average size middle finger is approximately 21 beads. You will need to add or take away beads depending on the size of your finger)
Tie in a knot and secure it with a tiny drop of Hypo Cement. Immediately tie another knot into the drop of glue.
Let dry for approximately five minutes and snip ends close to knot.
