Vintage Button Ring . .

 I love vintage buttons and I have lots of them. Many of these buttons are made from shells.
I decided to use some of these beautiful buttons to create a whimsical ring.  All you need are some buttons in different sizes and a ring base.
To start with, I took a large button and glued on smaller buttons. I used a  jewelry making glue called E-6000. I got this glue at Jo-Ann's Fabric store.
I layered lots of small buttons on the larger button and then I let the glue dry overnight.
The next day, I glued the larger button on to the ring base. I used an antique style filigree ring base. Once again I let the glue dry overnight.
And that's all there is to it! Now you have a super cute ring. I think this would be a great piece of jewelry to wear this summer with a white linen dress.
For a final touch, I added a light blue cabochon flower. This is a fun ring to make or if you like you can buy this one here.

  2. Your rings are wonderful. Most people just put one button on and call it quits but yours are just lovely with all of the layers.
