Tie a Knot

Make a Button Bracelet

Make your button pattern and tie off a knot.

Finish your button pattern. You can do only a select few buttons, like I did, or go all the way around the elastic. Tie off the elastic at your wrist. But sure to snip any loose ends of the elastic.

  • Many shirts come with extra buttons sewn into the hem. Use one of these as a centerpiece for your bracelet and it's sure to match your shirt.
  • If you like this bracelet, try an easy potato chip bag bracelet.
