WEEK-END CRAFT, BUTTON BRACELET

I am a button collector and have over
50 in mason jars. I'm always searching
for new craft ideas. I was in the process
of doing my daily Pinterest Adventure.
Wow! I saw this cute button craft.  It 
was very simple but pretty. I did wonder,  
"Why did I think of that? !"

This lady made a pretty bracelet using elastic and buttons. The button designs
I could make on this bracelet are endless.
I was excited and couldn't wait to pull out my button collection.

Here is the Pinterest inspiration for today's craft:

I tweaked the instructions to fit what I had on hand. I did hand stitch the elastic after 
I measured my wrist. I had too many issues threading my needle.  Therefore, I decided to try  using my industrial strength glue gun to add my buttons.  I also embellished the bracelet with colorful rhinestone gems.

Here are the images of my version of this craft:

 

I did find some easy thread needles.
I'll hand sew the buttons on the rest 
of my bracelets.
