Hi friends! Do you know you probably have jewelry supplies that you do not know about in your sewing stash? Ribbon, buttons, a needle and thread!
These days we use our craft supplies for jewelry making, scrapbooking, cardmaking, home decor crafts and more. Watch the video to see how I made the bracelet then you can apply the same techniques to make the necklace too.
You can use the stuff you have for this bracelet or use the supplies I used from PandaHall:
- Organza Ribbon
- Satin Ribbon
- Tree Buttons or Other Buttons
- Ribbon ends
- beaded chain
- glue
- needle and thread
- split rings
- round nose plies and key ring opener pliers
I listened to you guys when you said the shipping cost was high and difficult to figure out so I mentioned this to PandaHall and they opened a store on Amazon.com (USA) and Amazon UK so you can get their best sellers at low prices with free shipping. I hope they stock the stuff you want! I want to thank Pandahall for sponsoring this post and thank YOU for stopping by! So, have you ever used non-jewelry making supplies in a jewelry making project? Let me know in the comments and til next time happy crafting!

Lindsay that is a very cool bracelet. Have you ever crochet in buttons to make bracelets? I think I need some of those buttons. Sitting here being very sad. I came home from work today and my grandson was sitting in his yard crying. I didn’t t realize that the trash bag that was beside him was his dog. His mothers father had ran over his dog and he was so upset it broke my heart. Well I just had to talk to someone and you are like family. Hope you have a good rest of the week and thanks for listening.

Great idea…thanks for the tips.
I have made bracelets by sewing black elastic (the kind used in pull-up trousers) into a loop and attaching buttons in various sizes, shapes and colors. No closure to worry with.

Love the idea of sewing the cute buttons on ribbons! I’ll need some similar cheap buttons to try this too, I guess. Thanks, Lindsay! Have a great week!

I love bead embroidery. The stiff backing artists us is pretty much the same as interfacing, and I love the fusible kind that I can then press onto a pretty fabric to hide knots. I also prefer the durability of buttonhole thread to the monofilament.
