When you look good, you feel good!  Put some extra spring in your step by accessorizing your favorite looks with vintage button earrings that take just minutes to create.

​To make this project, you’ll need:
  • Matching pairs of vintage buttons with flat backs
  • Embroidery floss, a needle, and scissors
  • A bag of 8 mm flat pad posts with clutches 
  • A hot glue gun and glue sticks
  1. Choose a matching pair of vintage buttons that are slightly larger than the pad posts.

2. Fill the buttonholes with 3 strands of embroidery floss in a contrasting color.  Tie the threads behind the button to secure them and trim the ends.

3. Use a hot glue gun to attach the pad posts to the buttons.  Add a drop or two of hot glue to the back of a button and press a pad post into the glue.  Allow the hot glue 10 to 20 minutes to cool and set.  Let the glue cure for a full 24 hours before wearing your earrings.
