Pick your required buttons and beads and begin to lay out your pattern. You can explore and play with other designs and styles.

You can now cut a piece of stretchy rope 6 inches longer that your wrist measurement, this is for adjustment or extension if required. On one end, you have to put a paper clip.

After that, you can now start with your stringing. If in case you aren't happy with the way that the pieces mesh, just simply restring it. When you're now pleased with your design and you have now a correct length of bracelet your are making, finish it by simply line up the two loose ends side-by-side and then tie an overhand knot.

Button Bracelet Using Memory Wire

If you want to end the end of your bracelet, you can also use glue on an end cap.

Start laying out your required design. Get your memory wire, cut a bit of it 2 inches longer than your wrist's measurement. You also need to put a clip at one end. String 1/2 of your design starting at the center button.

Before continuing the rest of your stringing, check the fit first. This way you can easily adjust the length if it's's not half your wrist's measurement. After that, switch the clip to the other end and start stringing with the other half. In making the end loops. Just grip the loose end of memory wire using needle nose pliers.

Wrap the wire around the pliers to shape the loop ; you have to position the pliers for you have the size of loop you need. Firmly grasp the pliers ; push the wire away from you and around the end of the pliers until you have finished the entire loop. Ensure you have lots of wire when doing this project.
