gradient button necklace instructions
materials:
buttons of varying sizes but the same color or material
embroidery thread
chain if desired
time required: 45 minutes
Arrange the buttons in order of size. Match buttons of the same size to make it symmetric.
Cut a 2 foot length of contrasting or matching embroidery thread as desired.
Stagger buttons with one layer on the bottom and another layer on top.
Thread through the buttons, alternating top and bottom.
Arrange the buttons along the thread until they are distributed in a nice silhouette.
Knot the thread at each end to keep the buttons from slipping.
Necklace can be worn as is by tying the embroidery thread around neck.
Lengths of chain can also be tied to each side of the necklace if desired. Cut off excess thread and tuck ends under.
