How to Make Vintage Button Earrings
You will need:a pair of old buttons
disc earring posts
E6000
wire cutters or something similar
My mom gave me several tins of old buttons. Most were regular buttons, but when I saw these gold ones I knew they would make great earrings.
Begin by removing the button hole from the back of the button. I used some wire cutters from the garage. I clipped off as much as I could. These buttons ended up being plastic, which made it much easier than if they had been metal. Repeat for both earrings.
Add a dab of E6000 to the disc on the earring post and attach it to the button back.
The hardest part is waiting for them to dry. I let them dry overnight before wearing.
