This little pile of things caught my eye this afternoon. A Czech glass button some glass donuts and big jump rings.
Do it again and then on the end large ring add a piece of wire thin enough to fit through the button back. In this case I used my Wubbers looping pliers and rolled a double ring on the end of the half hard gold filled wire.
I left enough room for the button to slide a little.
All that's left is to add the other side and attach a clasp. This fits a large wrist but by removing a ring or two it can be custom fit any wrist.
The materials used are 8 18mm heavy jump rings,12 10mm medium rings, and 6 glass rings plus the clasp and the button. A Quick and easy bracelet with a lot of color from the vintage glass.
How does it clasp? Where do you get the glass rings and do you make your own jump rings. This is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteNever mind. I see your clasp now. Very clever!
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you, thank you! I had been wondering how to work with the shank buttons. I wired up something but I think this will work better. (Found you via the lost-in-space studio challenge on Artisan Whimsy.)
